Re: Time to replace the Envoy

I would need 4x4 for sure.

Brandon, just found some info out about towing with the V6 in the GC, its only rated at 6200 for the 2014 model with the tow package. 5k for the 2011-2013 unless you go V8. Sounds like no tranny cooler is factory (unless you get v8). The tow package adds in oil cooler and rear leveling suspension.

V6 Trailer Tow Group IV $795
•7 and 4 Pin Wiring Harness
•Class IV Receiver Hitch
•Delete Rear Tow Hook
•Rear Load Leveling Suspension
•Full Size Spare Tire
•Steel Spare Wheel
•220-Amp Alternator
•Heavy Duty Engine Cooling

The V8 is rated at 7200 with the tow package, just something to note.

The Durango though seems to have higher tow rating even the 2011 models 6400 with the v6 and tow package. Must be due to longer wheel base, otherwise not sure what the differences would be, same engine and tranny..... lots of conflicting stuff on the internets.
