GM 4WD Pickup
Just traded to new pickup. Was disappointed to find out that now you have to disconn battery to tow after last 5 years of shift transaxle to neutral, put in park, lock doors, get out and go. Anyone ...

RoyB, GM says that is the method. Looks like it began with '14s when electric power steering was added to the truck line.
FIREUP, I have used those on ATVs but was trying to avoid popping hood. I see some that are actually a relay so small remote switch in cab trips/connects unit near battery itself.
Wondered if anyone had experience with them.
Toney,
You don't have to "Pop the hood". You see, that switch is mounted basically against the fire wall but, the key section protrudes into cab. If done correctly, all you'll see, maybe close to the brake pedal or, where ever you mount it, is the key receptacle. There is no need to raise the hood. I've got buddies that mounted it in the center console. You open the console lid and, look down and, you'll see the little red key.
This is the simplest remedy to your issue. Using a relay is nice but, it involves quite a bit more wiring and such. Your choice.
