    How can I tell if my 2008 CX-9 GT has the tow package?

    New to the forum... leaning

    Hey everyone, It's great that there's a forum for just about everything on the web, and it's also cool that most car dudes will help out. I've got a 2002 that's mostly stock with an Auto trans. I bought it without driving it cause I'm kind of a wagon freak. Turned out to be great. It handles...
