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.

Use tow haul when hauling or towing. I don't understand why this question comes up so often. It seems pretty simple to me. So many people seem like they're afraid to dare touch the T/H button.
I use mine even when not towing or hauling just to slow down. When I need to slow the empty truck the automatic downshifting of the transmission really reduces the need for brakes. I went almost 190,000 miles on my factory original brake pads.
Using T/H when towing will allow you to accelerate quicker, keep the transmission cooler, and slow down easier.
Trailer brakes are already set up. Do some practice stops and keep increasing the gain until it feels like the trailer is braking harder than the truck then back it down a bit. The trailer brakes are progressive so they're always proportional to how hard the truck is braking, just need to adjust the level of effort the trailer gives.
Idk what TCS is and I'm sitting in a new chebbie that I tow with.
Sway, get a sway bar, wdh if you don't have one.
