Trailer ratings for extended wheelbase models will be reduced. The weight of any alteration or conversion, as well as any other optional equipment, passengers and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow.

No optional cooling equipment available.• Optional Z82 Heavy-Duty Trailering Equipment Package includes a weight-distributing hitch platform and an eight-wire trailer wiring harness.
