Not an option, but I know what you mean. As I stated a few comments ago I should have put this as adding a transmission cooler rather than the whole upgrade to 4K as indicated. I really shouldn't in a place where I am trying to tow what the truck can't tow.

Tires should be mentioned, some of them don't have enough load rating to be pushing it.

In particular I think the WildPeak ATs are kinda "only just good enough" at stock loadings. Other tires might have higher ratings but check load inflation tables to see if they actually get that at the pressure you are running them at.

I have found in the past when checking "Why come tow rating higher in Europe/Australia? " that it is often the case that the (generally smaller classes) vehicle in the US is on Eco varieties of tires with low load ratings and payload is like 800lb for the EPA numbers, whereas when offered around the rest of the world, it comes with "normal" all seasons of better load rating and payload is up to 1200lb and towing doubled, or exists at all where US model is "not recommended"
