So is anyone actually flat towing a 2015 yet? Any comments? We have just purchased one and I am setting it up for that right now.
I was curious on one of the above posts stating you need a separate electrical system for towing. I was going to run diodes and re-use the factory wiring to get to the taillights and brake lights, and then run an SMI air force one for braking which connects right to the battery. Am I missing something else?
Properly placed diodes will effectively do the same thing as using separate wiring, as the diodes allow the power to flow to the lights, but not back into the vehicle. I've done this on several toads.
Yes we are but with some problems... We had a battery disconnect switch installed which makes that part easy... read your manual before you tow and follow the instructions very closely.
I also have a battery saver that plugs into the cigarette lighter and saves all your radio settings etc... just plug it in before you disconnect the battery and it will save all your settings.
No problems towing... problems begin when you unhook and want to put it back in drive.... two out of three trips it wouldn't go back from neutral into drive... got a message to "SERVICE 4WD" ... after calling the dealer found out there was a service bulletin for that problem so you have to follow another procedure which is a PIA and remove the 30 AMP fuse from the fuse block then re install it then the transmission would shift. A terrible pain to have to do all of that just because of the steering locking on these new models.
They need to find a way to disconnect the power steering lock on these vehicles... we love the suburban but the lemon law comes to mind if they don't fix it.
