Need some info on towing packages!

Hi Guys,
I have a 2008 4 door 4x4 Sport Package without the tow package. I am looking to tow a 16 foot trailer with my 2 Harleys, once or twice a year approx 1000Miles a trip. So here is my grocery list of parts needed. Althought I am having a hard time finding a few things? PLS HELP

!) Class III Hitch (Done)
2)Wire Harness (Done)
3)7 Din Plug converter (Done)
4)Brake Unit (Done)
5) X-tra leaf for suspension issue (Done)

5) Transmission Cooler ( Can't find the kit)
6) Oil Cooler ( Can't find the kit)

Am I missing something?

Tks for all the info guys!

 

Let's add something to the equation. What if I want to add a oil temp gage and a transmission temp gage. Any info on this?

 

With out the tow package your truck should be able to tow still around 5000 pounds. I have the same basic set up as you and I towed a 16 foot enclosed trailer full of with off stuff weighing altogether between 3500-4000 pounds from Houston to Orlando. If you keep your speed around 65 and don't tailgate people you should be just fine.

P.S- The whole ride there was a torrential downpour and my truck took it like a champ.

 

So Box, your saying simply install the hitch, wire harness and the brake unit and I should be fine? It's true that I won't be towing lots, only a few times in the summer! So maybe what I am looking for is overkill?

 

Look for a CLASS IV hitch.

CLass IV hitch should allow you to reach your full towing capacity (6500lbs).

 

Not sure you need them but for ideas go to

In my opinion you should be. You said your not going to be towing that weight more then maybe twice a year. I'm not sure the exact weight of a motor cycle like a Harley but depending on which model somewhere between 500-800 pounds each is my guess. So two of them and a trailer should keep you under 4000 lbs which the truck just by itself can defiantly handle. Like I said earlier though don't ride people butts so you have plenty of room to stop and you will be alright. Oh and expect to stop a bunch for gas if you get better than 14-15 mpg your doing good
