Tow/Haul Mode

Your vehicle may be equipped with a tow/haul feature.

Tow/haul is designed to assist while your vehicle is

pulling a large or heavy load or trailer. Tow/haul is most

useful while pulling such a load in rolling terrain at

speeds less than 55 mph (88 km/h), in stop-and-go

traffic, or when you need improved low-speed control,

such as when parking. The purpose of the tow/haul

mode is to do the following:

• Reduce the frequency and improve the predictability

or transmission shifts

• provide the same solid shift feel while pulling a

heavy load as while the vehicle is unloaded, and

• improve control of vehicle speed while requiring less

throttle pedal activity

Press the button on the end of the shift lever to turn

tow/haul mode on and off. While activated, the indicator

light on the instrument panel will be on. Tow/haul

mode will turn off automatically when the ignition is

turned off. See Tow/Haul Mode Light on page 3-34.

Tow/haul mode is most effective when the vehicle and

load combined weight is at least 75 percent of the

vehicle’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the

maximum trailer weight rating for the vehicle. See

“Weight of the Trailer” later in this section.

Driving with tow/haul activated without a heavy load will

cause reduced fuel economy and unpleasant engine

and transmission driving characteristics, but will

not cause damage.

Weight of the Trailer

How heavy can a trailer safely be?

It depends on how you plan to use your rig. For

example, speed, altitude, road grades, outside

temperature and how much your vehicle is used to pull

a trailer are all important. And, it can also depend

on any special equipment that you have on your vehicle.

The following chart shows how much your trailer can

weigh, based upon your vehicle model and options.

Maximum trailer weight is calculated assuming the driver

and one passenger are in the tow vehicle and it has

all the required trailering equipment. The weight

of additional optional equipment, passengers and cargo

in the tow vehicle must be subtracted from the

maximum trailer weight. The weight of the trailer tongue

also affects the maximum trailer weight. See “ Weight

of the Trailer Tongue ” later in this section.
