It's needed to generate enough power for the larger electric fans. Cooling was one of the larger issues getting the tow rating on these up. They needed more cooling, more air flow, bigger fans - and it took a larger alternator to power the larger fans (and of course there's all the other electrical goodies in some of these.
Damn you're smart!

Not sure I'd go THAT far, but I have my moments HAHA.
If I was smart, I'd have finished up my regulator project and gotten temperature compensation added to it.......
