If You Do Decide to Pull a Trailer

If you do, here are some important points:

• There are many different laws, including speed limit

restrictions, having to do with trailering. Make sure

your rig will be legal, not only where you live

but also where you will be driving. A good source

for this information can be state or provincial police.

• Consider using a sway control. You can ask a hitch

dealer/retailer about sway controls.

• Do not tow a trailer at all during the ﬁrst 500 miles

(805 km) your new vehicle is driven. Your engine,

axle or other parts could be damaged.

• Then, during the ﬁrst 500 miles (805 km) that you tow

a trailer, do not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and do

not make starts at full throttle. This helps your engine

and other parts of your vehicle wear in at the heavier

loads.

• Obey speed limit restrictions when towing a trailer.

Do not drive faster than the maximum posted speed

for trailers, or no more than 55 mph (90 km/h), to

save wear on your vehicle’s parts.

• You can tow in DRIVE (D). You may want to shift the

transmission to LOW (L) or, if necessary, a lower

gear selection if the transmission shifts too often

(e.g., under heavy loads and/or hilly conditions).

See “Tow/Haul Mode” later in this section.

Three important considerations have to do with weight:

• The weight of the trailer.

• The weight of the trailer tongue.

• And the total weight on your vehicle’s tires.

Tow/Haul Mode

Tow/Haul is a feature that assists when pulling a heavy

trailer or a large or heavy load. The purpose of the

Tow/Haul mode is to:

• Reduce the frequency and improve the predictability

of transmission shifts when pulling a heavy trailer or

a large or heavy load.

• Provide the same solid shift feel when pulling a

heavy trailer or a large or heavy load as when

the vehicle is unloaded.

• Improve control of vehicle speed while requiring

less throttle pedal activity when pulling a heavy

trailer or a large or heavy load.

• Increase the charging system voltage to assist in

recharging a battery installed in a trailer.
