Can you tell if Expy has tow package based off VIN?

[DAVID KJACK]

So Im looking at 16’ and 17’ years with the same issue, trying to find the “Max Tow Option” or “HD Tow Package” is like looking for a unicorn. So Im looking for Trailer Back Up assist knob or an extra oil cooler behind the radiator? Can someone please post a pic of this extra oil cooler? Not sure about the 536 code on door sticker? There are many numbers, where on the sticker?

I believe if it has the max tow package it will have the 7 pin connector and trailer brake controller. They all have a receiver.

For 2017 the "Class IV trailer tow receiver with 4-pin connector" is standard on the XLT. The "Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package" is standard on the Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum and it will have 4-pin and 7-pin connectors. No 7-pin connector means no HD trailer tow package.

Is this the same for 16’s too?

I only went through the brochure very quickly, but it looks like the "Class IV trailer tow receiver with 4-pin connector" is standard on all models whereas the "Heavy-Duty Trailer Tow Package" is standard on Limited and above.

This is correct. Limited and above have HD Tow standard 2015 through 2017.

I myself have an 05 Expy EB that if I remember correctly when I purchased was told it has the HD towing package. However I looked at the wiring connector and it has only 4 pins. Also when I look in the engine compartment I see the radiator but in front of it there is the condensing cooler for the ac and another miniature radiator looking device. I'm guessing one of those devices is the transmission cooler. Which would indicate HD towing. How can I find out for definite that I have HD towing? I could crawl under the vehicle and follow the tubing but right now it's rather muddy outside. BTW I looked on my door placard and noticed no "536" code.

Search for the option guide for your model year. Also, the HD Tow equipped vehicles usually have 3.73 gearing, which shows up in the yellow sticker on the door jamb. But I forget the code.

The miniature radiator device is probably the power steering cooler.
