The chevy Blazers and Ford Bronco Twos with V-6's were optionally equiped
with tow packages. In Fact, Chevy equiped their straight 4 cylinger Blazer
with a tow package, and advertised it as having the highest tow rating in
its class; they could do this becasue the 4 cylinder weighed significantly
less than the V-6. It didn't matter that the little 4 couldn't pull much.

I am looking to buy a boat and need to know if I can towe it with my
V-6 Olds 98 regency elite. The boat and trailer will weigh around 3000
lbs. My owners manual says I can towe up to 3000 lbs with the optional
towing package. How can I tell if I have the towing option. Also, when
I go to the U-haul web site and put in my vehicle, it says I can towe
a trailer with a weight of 4400 lbs. I have no idea if I can tow it. I
have a class II hitch.

Generally you should have a separate transmission cooler (with
automatic), heavy duty battery and alternator and heavier rear springs
if equipped with a tow package. A V-6 of any type usually is never
equipped with a tow package and though U-haul may be good at installing
hitches I sure would not take their word on you vehicle's towing
capacity. Best bet is to go to a dealer and have them look up your vin
number and they can tell you all you need to know about your vehicle's
capabilities.
