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.
