Re: Equinox being towed

They will have the 6 speed transmission. A simple google search will confirm this. I stand corrected. It's the 2.0 4 cyl that has the 9 speed. V6 is gone.645Views0likes0CommentsRe: Equinox being towed

Chevy doesn't offer the V6 anymore in the Equinox. 2018's offer two 4 cyl. turbo versions and eventually a diesel. All engines will have a new 9 speed trans. I read the owners' manual. It specifically says they cannot be flat towed. It's very similar to what happened the Honda CRV starting in 2015. No matter what the salesman says, make sure you read the owner's manual before you buy a toad.644Views0likes0CommentsRe: Ford Edge vs Chev. Equinox
Dick This came from the Ford owners manual. You can tow your 2.7L EcoBoost or 3.5L (6F50 or 6F55) equipped vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. If you tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground: Tow only in the forward direction. Release the parking brake. Vehicles with Keyless Start (If Equipped) Start the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal, and then pressing the keyless start button until the vehicle starts. Press the brake pedal and shift the gearshift into neutral (N). Turn the vehicle off by pressing the keyless start button once. Disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery. You need the door key to lock and unlock doors when the battery cable is disconnected. See Changing the 12V Battery. Note: The anti-theft system does not work until you reconnect the battery cable. Start the engine within 15 minutes of reconnecting the battery cable. Vehicles with an Ignition Key (If Equipped) Start the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal, and then turning the ignition key until the vehicle starts. Press the brake pedal and shift the transmission into neutral (N). Turn the vehicle off by turning the ignition key past the accessory position. The key position is between the accessory and off positions. See Ignition Switch. Disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery. See Changing the 12V Battery.462Views0likes0Comments
