Should I use cruise control while towing a travel trailer
Should I use cruise control while towing a travel trailer? Thank you, Tom
Forum Discussion
I have a 3500 Chevy Silverado Diesel Duly. It has Cruise Control, Tow Mode, and Exhaust break. When all three are turned on, the truck (especially towing the trailer), literally drives itself, even in the mountains of Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Virginia, and even the Dakotas. The hillier it is, the sweeter it is.
Never have to touch the brake peddle or the acceleration peddle. Cruise keeps the speed steady, exhaust brake keeps the rig from acceleration on down hill slopes, and tow mode controls the shifting going up hill to maintain that steady speed when on Cruise control. I can not manually perform such actions with the same smoothness that this truck does by itself. It's an awesome truck! I tow at 60 mph on Interstates. And never touch the acceleration peddle unless forced to slow down for whatever reason.
