Max towing package question

Hi guys,

I bought a used 2016 Sierra 5.3L, 3.42 SWB, Crew cab, which has the factory IBC and 12k max hitch installed. (I'm assuming it's a class 4 hitch but I have no marking on it other than 12k towing and 1200lbs tongue weight sticker)

How do I confirm that I have the Max towing package on this truck? Can I tell by the Vin# I'm curious if I can tow 11'100 lbs or 9'400 lbs Max rating. Thanks

I initially thought only max towing package only came with the 8 speed tranny and 6.2L option

Excellent information

I did not find the NHT like you mentioned in the glove box.

Although now that I have all these 3 digit codes I might start looking all these up to see what they all are

NHT is the correct RPO for max tow.

The telescoping camper mirrors are the easy identification for max tow, they are in the package
