Is it bad to tow with a new truck?
Is it bad to tow with a new truck? New trucks shouldn't pull trailers until they have at least 500 miles on them, and 1,000 miles is the recommendation for some (check your manual). Towing puts a strain on your truck's transmission and driveline, and it's best to get some miles under your belt before you put this kind of strain on the vehicle. Can you switch to tow mode while driving? I switch it while running down the highway all the time. I assumed that it is just a little different feature than the overdrive mode (designed for towing)...
