The 2011 model tow package just added a hitch and load leveling suspension, no extra cooling or larger alternator and max towing was 5000lb with the V6. No comment in manual if you need factory tow package to achieve 5000lb
In 2014 V6 model got extra cooling and larger alternator and 6200lb towing capacity but no comment in manual if you need the tow package or not to achieve 6200lb.
2015 same as 2014..
Now jump to 2016-up... Tow package gets the same as 2014-15 but now you need the extra cooling to pull 6200lb if you have STD cooling you can only tow 3500lb...
So how is it in 2011 you can pull 5000lb with 5 speed tranny and no extra cooling but in 2019 you can only pull 3500lb but with an 8speed and STD cooling...
Why has the WK2 regressed in towing capabilities. Why from 2011-2015 you didnt need a tow package to tow 5000lb-6200lb but 2016-up you need.
Thank you
