whoinow Posted December 25, 2022 So I searched the forums and didn't really find my situation, plus the threads related to this, were so old I didn't want to necro them. I bought a 2013 3500 HD a couple months ago and it has ALL the options that the tow package includes (wiring harness under the dash, class IV hitch, front tow hooks, extending side mirrors, 7pin connector, etc) but, I don't have a Tow Mode button. I haven't taken apart the dash yet to see if there is a harness, which I will do tomorrow. I have the window sticker / build sheet and it includes the full tow package (and the VIN matches the vehicle). I do plan to tow with this van, and I know tow mode isn't required per-se, but I figured it would be useful and really should be there. Thoughts?

crusty Posted December 25, 2022 V6 or V8? Only the V8 has the button. The V8 is a part from the Titan that has a tow mode. The V6 is a part from the Frontier that does not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The V6 is a part from the Frontier that does not. I should have mentioned it’s the v8. (I didn’t know the 3500 came in a v6).

whoinow Posted December 25, 2022 I took the dash apart and I think I found the tow mode button connector, it was just taped to a wire harness. I searched for the connector on google and it appears to be the correct one. This is what I found. I am going to find a button and see if it works. It appears, with all the other options installed, that was never installed from the factory… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoinow Posted December 25, 2022 I found the part number for the switch here. I am going to order one and see what happens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aztec Posted December 26, 2022 You'll see what happens all right. That harness is for the ejection seat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crusty Posted December 29, 2022 Actually you can get a 3500 in a V6, but in the passenger version only. Cargo is V8 only for 3500, either for 2500, and V6 only for 1500 1 Local Apparent Friday reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Local Apparent Friday Posted January 2, 2023 Huh. Neat, I had no idea. Ty for clearing it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whoinow Posted January 8, 2023 I got the button in and the TOW MODE light turns on at least, however I haven't driven with it yet. Should work... 2 Local Apparent Friday and radin2son reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
