We have towed a Saturn Vue for many years and it is now time to replace it as our toad. I'm looking at the 2018 Chevy Equinox 1.6L Diesel. Has anyone used the 1.6L Diesel for their flat tow vehicle?

The diesel seems to be ok so far on the 18โs. Gets much better mileage too.
There is a huge thread on FMCA. Check it out.

I believe there's been reports of the death wobble with the Equinox and it's electronic power steering system? May want to do some searches to confirm?
The death wobble occurs under very specific conditions with the fuse pulled that disables the electric steering assist. A bungie cord on the steering wheel resolves the issue. Towed the Equinox 6000 miles this year and didn't get the wobble once.

I think itโs got the ten speed auto. Did you look in the owners manual? I wouldnโt trust the dealer.
There is the best answer: Read and follow the instructions contained in the Owner's Manual.
Good luck.

If you had posted this in Dinghy Towing you would have gotten better responses.

I found 4 threads with equinox in the title. Why have a search function and not use it?
