This option, often designated by a specific three-letter code, enhances a vehicle’s capacity for towing. It typically includes upgraded components such as a heavy-duty suspension, enhanced cooling system, and a trailer brake controller, among other features. As an example, a pickup truck equipped with this enhancement can safely tow heavier loads than the same vehicle without it.
The significance of this enhancement lies in its ability to provide users with increased towing confidence and safety. The upgraded components work in concert to manage the additional stress and heat generated when pulling heavier loads. Its availability reflects the increasing demand for vehicles capable of handling both daily transportation and demanding towing tasks. It builds upon years of engineering advancements in vehicle towing capabilities.
