class V hitch

Started poking around my EL 4x2 and noticed that it has a class V hitch and no transmission cooler. Aftermarket add on?

no

all the Expy's come with a Class V hitch and a 4 pin harness. The Tow Package is when you get the 7 pin harness and the Trans Cooler.

The 7-pin outlet on the rear is a hint you have the HD Tow package.

My factory HD Tow hitch label says it's Class IV, though, not Class V.

Class IV hitches are for up to 10,000 lbs. GTW and 1,000 to 1,200 lbs. of tongue weight. This type of hitch is usually a weight-distributing hitch.

Class V hitches are for extra heavy loads greater than 10,000 lbs. GTW and more than 1,200 lbs. tongue weight. This type of hitch is usually a weight-distributing hitch. This type of hitch may have up to a 2-1/2 inch receiver with a 3/4-inch pinhole. Typical uses might be to tow a car trailer, horse trailer or unusually large boat or camper.
