You will need the following for towing:
- Brake controller
- Transmission cooler
- A properly adjusted (for height) weight distributing hitch...
Just for ballpark info, about how much does these above cost?
No trailer hitch came on this truck, was installed after market.
Just to be sure. Have a mechanic take a good look at your truck. A trans cooler is easy to spot. Follow the lines out of the radiator. they will either go to a cooler, or back to the transmission. If not. You can get one put on for around $150.00.
You can get a WDH for less than $400.00. And a GOOD brake controler will be in the $130.00 range. Not sure about having it wired. Never had to. All my TV were prewired.
And do take a good look at the receiver you had installed. Make sure it is a class III/IV. It has to be a IV to handle a WDH.
