Good advice so far .. factory tow mirrors are very inexpensive but tough to find on dealer lots in my area.
Give due consideration to the Max Trailer Package. You wont see a significant reduction in mileage with the 3.73's, and you also add some extra payload capacity which will likely come in handy with a trailer in that weight range. It also includes the larger rear and better cooling. Well worth it IMO
MAX TRAILERING PACKAGE Includes 9.76" rear axle, 3.73 axle ratio, trailer brake controller, enhanced cooling radiator, —
revised shock tuning for increased control, heavier-duty rear springs and increased RGAWR to 4100 lbs. Late availability.
On SLE, includes Trailering Package and locking rear differential on 2WD models. Also requires UHN 18" or RD3 20" aluminum
wheels and 5.3L V-8 engine. Not available with Z71 Off-Road Suspension Package. On SLT , requires RCW 18" or NZM 20"
aluminum wheels when ordered with 5.3L V-8 engine. Also requires NZM 20" aluminum wheels when ordered with 6.2L V-8 engine.
