Default What is a "Sport" Model?

Looking at a 2016, that is a 4x4 'Sport', what does the Sport mean? Also, it has a 2.7L with trailer towing package, would it handle my 6000lb Lance TT?

Seems well apportioned for the price.

The "Sport" has the shifter in the console and has painted bumpers and painted door handles. Usually does not have any chrome.

For the most part, the "Sport" package has color matched bumpers, handles, black grill, and console shifter with "sport" cloth bucket seats. I would think you should be able to get that truck for $38k or maybe even less.

Includes:
• 18" Six-Spoke Machined-Aluminum wheels with Magnetic painted pockets
• 265/60R18 BSW all-season tires (A/S) (4x2)
• 275/65R18 OWL all-season/all-terrain tires (A/S, A/T) (4x4)
• Accent-color step bars
• Black billet style grille with body-color surround and black mesh insert
• Body-color door and tailgate handles; body-color bezel on side doors, black on tailgate
• Body-color front and rear bumpers
• Body-color front fascia and wheellip moldings
• Box side decal (not available with FX4 Off-Road Package)
• Chrome single-tip exhaust
• Unique interior finish
• Unique Sport Cloth 40/Console/40 seats with flow-through console and floor shifter

Here is another XLT that does not have the sport package. This one has the 301a entertainment package but same engine as the one you linked to earlier.

If you're pulling a 6k travel trailer you want the 3.5 ecoboost, 3.55 with max trailer tow and extended range fuel tank. You will still need to watch your payload. Even though the truck can tow much more, the tongue weight, passengers, gear, propane, etc will put you very close to your max payload limit. I have the same type travel trailer with the truck I described and I'm within a few hundred pounds of max payload.

I do like the monochromatic color, sans chrome. 38k would be nice. This does have the pro trailer back-up, twin moon roof, tow package, large LCD screen.

My current 5.0 pulls the TT pretty well without any tow package, except for the aux trans cooler I installed. I would imagine the 2.7 with HD tow package would do better. However, I understand payload is always an issue.

It should pull a 6,000# trailer fine. Much more and you will need a 5.0 or 3.5EB.
