The "tow" or "trailer" button means the vehicle is equipped with a towing package for haulibg things like boat trailers. The button on mine changes the gear ratios elecronically to accomodate the extra weight of the trailer. I have a Chevy 1500 with an Allison trans.

It always amazes me that Chevy sells this as a pretty pricey item as a "towing package" on their Work Truck model, but does not include a hitch or lighting jack in the package.

Thanks,
