If
You
Do Decide
To
Pull
A
Trailer
If you do, here are some important points:
e
e
e
e
e
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’ll be driving.
A
good source for
this information can be state or provincial police.
Consider using a sway control
if
your trailer will
weigh 4,000 Ibs
(1
800
kg) or less. You should
always use a sway control
if
your trailer will weigh
more than 4,000 Ibs
(1
800
kg). You can ask
a
hitch dealer about sway controls.
Don’t tow a trailer at all during the first
500
miles
(800
km) your new vehicle is driven. Your engine,
axle or other parts could be damaged.
Then, during the first
500
miles
(800
km) that you
tow a trailer, don’t drive over
50
mph
(80
km/h)
and don’t make starts at full throttle. This helps your
engine and other parts of your vehicle wear in at
the heavier loads.
You can tow in
DRIVE
(D). You may want to shift
the transmission
to
THIRD
(3)
or,
if
necessary, a
lower gear selection
if
the transmission shifts
too
often (e.g., under heavy loads and/or hilly
conditions).
Three important considerations have to do with weight:
the weight of the trailer,
the weight of the trailer tongue
and the 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:
e
e
e
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.
