MAKE THE POINT: Trailer Tow Packages
Roughly 95 percent of your Super Duty customers
use their trucks for towing regularly, and the Trailer
Tow Package is a great selling point. Be sure that your
customers understand the towing capabilities of their
vehicle and warn them against overloading. Explain
that Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) vehicles are designed for
greater towing stability, not necessarily for increased
capacity. DRW models are especially useful for
customers who want to tow a 5th-wheel trailer.
