Default tranny lingo deciphering

So, I looked up the VIN on my truck, and found out I have a


4 Spd A/T AODEW/4R70E W/TSS


I'm looking it up to see how capable my truck would be to tow a travel trailer.


According to the decoder, my axle ratio is 3.55. Is that a pro/con?


...and what does W/TSS mean?





Thanks!

As long as you don't go over the max trailer weight that is displayed on your rear bumper or in your owners manual, then I see no problem with your setup. A set of airbags or add-a-leafs might help rear sag.

It your trailer a 5th wheel?

Thanks...

I haven't bought one yet, but I don't think I'm going to get a fifth wheel because we have dirt bikes we want to haul too.

If it isnt a 5th wheel then you should be fine. Just make sure you aren't going over capacity with everything (trailer, dirt bikes, people, gear)
