Like I said, and you confirmed. Thousands of dollars to make it tow. All I did was to bring mine home and hook it up.
Actually I corrected a couple of errors in assumptions based on many years of going there as well, and an actual cost is more useful than a general comment of (unspecified) thousands - which would have also included $10,000.
You say you 'just drove yours home'. You did not say how much you paid the manufacturer to do the work before you drove it home. As I alluded there is the cost paid for the factory 'trailer package', and in the case of a truck the are many hidden capital costs for that end as well as typically higher profit margins. If cost is the criteria then you also need to look at the recurring costs, where again the truck cost more too.
I'll agree that it is often simpler to just buy what the manufacturer wants you to buy. Is that slways best, well I say that depends.
