Good Morning All,
I have a simple question, I hope.
I just purchased a pop up camper to take the family out and get them in touch with the great outdoors.
Our GT does not have the towing package, I have looked and can install myself a hitch receiver. We do not have a towing package on the CX.
I am concerned with:
Weight of camper is approx. 2300 lbs, tongue weight is 300ish. Should I be concerned, the towing capacity is 2000 lbs w/out the tow package?
Can I add the transmission cooler that the towing equipped models have? Or maybe improve what I have aftermarket?
I think the models with the towing package have a rating of 3500 lbs. If I remember correctly, there was a tweak to the shift points and a higher capacity cooler plus the appropriate receiver for the hitch.
I want to protect the transmission as much as possible and don't want to jeopardize the safety of my family.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve G
