2019 Tahoe for towing. Difference between tow and max trailer package?

[RobH]

...Is there a Max Trailering Package with everything (break controller, 3.42 ration, etc.) and not rear air...

Upscale models have the Magneride suspension instead of the optional rear air suspension. The three character code on the glove box Service Parts Identification label is Z85 for the air suspension on my LT. The Magneride suspension, RPO Z95 on a couple of YuKon Denali's I considered, also uses an air shock, but one that can have its shock dampening characteristics electronically modified in almost real time.

The air shock "bag" is around the upper portion of the shock. There should be a thin tube connected to it for inflating it. This picture of an Arnott aftermarket shock gives you an idea of what one looks like before it starts living in the splashed up crud under a vehicle.

I have a 2017 Tahoe LT with Max Trailering. I purchased to specifically tow my Travel Trailer (5,850 dry weight)...

Hi, Jason. Your trailer looks to be riding fairly high. Did you flip the axles on it?

That's the way Jayco trailers are designed. The way the frame is designed, it give you more overall height compared to all those Camping World brands.

Jason's trailer looks to be sitting perfectly level and so is his vehicle. I see zero issue with his setup as it looks 100% right on!!

If you are talking about my photo, yes. Equalizer 4 WDH

The W/D and the sway control are different things. Put the sway control on. You will be very happy you did. I ran two of them , tractors could blow by and no trailer sway whatsoever.

Equalizer 4 has built in sway control. I do not get sway from a tractors passing on the highway. Equalizer is not a frication based setup. I am able to backup or make tight turns without disconnecting anything.

I have a 2017 Tahoe LT with Max Trailering. I purchased to specifically tow my Travel Trailer (5,850 dry weight). Last I hit the scale, my trailer was around 6,200 loaded and have no problem towing. I use a good weight distribution hitch and keep it at 55-60 on the highway.

The Max Trailering Package is important because you get the 3.42 gears, break controller, sway control, heavy duty cooling, heavy duty suspension, etc

Furthermore, I went with the Tahoe LT vs Premier because the LT has Air Leveling Suspension vs the Magnaride. When I hook the trailer up, the Tahoe gets itself nice and level automatically.
