Increasing towing capacity of a non Raptor

[Kiowa]

Does anyone know if aftermarket upgrades can increase the towing capacity from the current number to the +/- 4500 pounds of the raptor?

The answer is you can’t do anything to increase the rating.

But you can do things to make towing safer, like:

• Stiffer rear springs or a load balancing hitch
• Bigger brakes
• Trailer braking - electric (with brake controller) or surge
• Adding the rear sway bar if yours doesn’t come with one
• D or E rated tires
• Auxiliary Automatic transmission cooler (if you have 10AT)
• Bigger alternator
• Swap out to the drawtite class III hitch receiver (designed for load balancing hitches)

None of that will up the rating though.
