Tow/Haul is a feature that assists
when pulling a heavy trailer or a
large or heavy load. See Tow/Haul
Mode on page 9‑43 for more
information.
Tow/Haul is designed to be most
effective when the vehicle and
trailer combined weight is at least
75 percent of the vehicle's Gross
Combined Weight Rating (GCWR).
See “Weight of the Trailer” in Trailer
Towing on page 9‑74. Tow/Haul is
most useful under the following
driving conditions:
. When pulling a heavy trailer or
a large or heavy load through
rolling terrain.
. When pulling a heavy trailer or a
large or heavy load in stop and
go traffic.
. When pulling a heavy trailer or
a large or heavy load in busy
parking lots where improved low
speed control of the vehicle is
desired.
