1995 Roadmaster Estate: Code for Towing Package?

[SBRMD]

Going to go look at one, what code should I look for? 

 

And....the package includes posi, right?  G80?

 

And while we're at it: where is the SPID sticker?  Inside the spare tire cover maybe?

 

Thanks in advance.

The "Towing Package" is code for "performance suspension package", just that Buick didn't want anything termed as "high-performance" related to the last-gen Roadmaster.

 

On the sedans, that suspension had some visible items in it.  Rear sway bar and P235/70R-15 radials are those.  Not sure about any additional oil coolers, as in "engine oil" cooler which is under the oil filter base.  Might have been an external automatic transmission cooler, too?

 

SPID might be on the lh frt door shell on wagons?  Sedans would probably have been on the spare tire cover, under the trunk mat/carpet.  V92 is the option code.  Might also be a "Grand Touring Suspension" plate on the instrument panel, replacing the normal "DynaRide Suspension" nameplate?  G80 PosiTraction was a separate option, but required the Tow Package Option.  

 

Hope this might help,

The quick way to spot a Roadmaster with the towing package is seeing the mechanical fan, belt driven on the front of the engine.

The SPID label will be on the passenger side jamb of the tailgate. Open it like a door and look on the jamb adjacent to the passenger taillight.

Yes, G80 is posi.

V92 is the tow package.

My research indicates that the G80 was available only with the V92 Trailer package, but the V92 was available by itself w/o G80.
