Hey y'all,

Looking at a possible XE 4x2 purchase for the summer/fall timeframe, going with the XE since it's a truck, I'm looking more for a daily driver, not a 30k luxo cruiser. My question/dilemma is this: Later on, I'm looking at setting it up to trailer a track car, am I gonna screw myself by not going to an SE with the BT package? Weightwise, I'm looking at about a 2800 pound car, with a ~1200 pound open trailer, give or take 200 pounds on that. Figure in 300 pounds for tires/tools in the bed. Will that be too much for a possible aftermarket class III hitch? The 23k base model really has everything I'm looking for on it, should I suck it up and go the 27-28k route for the extra goodies and BT?
