There is a lot to a towing package. I would not consider a truck that did not have a factory towing package unless the trailer was not anywhere close to the towing weight rating of the truck. The main difference in towing packages is enhanced water, fuel, egr and oil cooling.

Regarding the sales weasel; if he does not know what you need, I would take that as a clue. A clue to run from the place as fast as possible. RV sales weasels, many of which have never towed or spent a single night in an RV for that matter will tell an unsuspecting customer they can tow a fifth wheel trailer with a golf cart. The RV sales weasel is trying to sell a trailer. Some of them will say anything to get you signed. You need to pay VERY CLOSE attention to loading and carrying capacities if you intend to expect to have liability insurance if there is a problem on the road. And remember, there is nothing you can add to a truck that will change its factory designated GCWR capacity.

Happy hunting
