2000 LS Tow Package? - 7/6/2008 4:39:35 AM    kearney99   Posts: 2 Joined: 7/6/2008 Status: offline I have a 2000 LS Blazer.  How do I know if I have a towing package?  I bought it used. It did have trailer wiring behind the step bumper, but no connector.  (I installed one and installed a Class III hitch reciever recently) Is there a suspension mod which would indicate a Tow package? What is included in it? Thanks! Post #: 1

UY7 Wiring Harness: Heavy Duty, Trailer UB1 Wiring Harness: Light Duty, Trailer VR4 Trailer Hitch: Weight Distributing Platform Z82 Trailering Provisions, Special Equipment, Heavy Duty RPO Z82 ties the HD options together, but isn''''t necessary to show that the vehicle came equipped with those HD options.  Even RPO Z82 did not include the plug at the back.  My old Bravada was equiped with Z82 and I had to add the plug. < Message edited by swartlkk -- 7/6/2008 7:14:38 AM > _____________________________ Kyle- 2004 Rainier 1970 Chevelle - Resto 1974 K5 Blazer - Resto (in reply to kearney99) Post #: 2
