2016 Chevy Suburban w Towing Package
Just purchased travel trailer. Looking for pointers on use of toeing features including tow/haul mode, breaking, TCS, etc.
Forum Discussion
I drive a 04 suburban with the 5.3 and 3.73 rear end pulling a 28 foot
Keystone Springdale. There is no sway at all under any situation it travels
smooth and straight. I use a sway bar that the dealer didn't even want to put
on but he did, he said you don't need it. I say you do, he said the previous
owner brought back the RV because it swayed a lot but no sway bar was used.
Conclusion is you need the sway bar. I used to pull a 30foot plus trailer and
it swayed some enough to spook you some so I think the longer the RV the more
sway. Longer wheel base helps on your tow vehicle, so I would not recommend
any vehicle with less than 130inch wheel base. Only problem I have is a "pogo"
stick ride in Wisconsin, strange but I have been all over and only that state
causes this. Something about the expansion joints on the interstate and the
way Wisconsin puts them in I was told. So we don't travel in that state much
anymore, I wrote the DMV but was ignored, never heard anything but that I
wrote to the wrong department and they would send my letter along. Never heard
another word.
