I just bought a 2011 CK10543. The VIN ID says it has both the Max towing package as well as the Z71 package. From my research and logically it cant have both, can it?
I am looking to find to max towing capacity. Some sites say 9500# and other sites say 10700#.
I also read in the manual that if it does have the max tow there is an integrated braking system, how do I know if that is there?
Below is the equipment list from the GM VIN Checker.
Rear axle, 3.42 ratio (Refer to Engine/Axle chart for availability.) (With (LC9) Vortec 5.3L V8 Engine, Requires (K5L) heavy-duty cooling package)
