What does the "tow/haul button" actually do?

Question

I have a 2002 suburban with the tow package which i don't actually know what it does ie: does it bring more power to the engine? or does it keep the transmission cool? I'm thinking about towing a car that doesn't run on an 18ft trailer about 3 hours way from where i live, I don't know much about towing capacities but everyone tells me " I'll be fine" and to just go up to the speed limit. Is that right or are there some other things to consider while towing this type of load?

Answer 1

All that the tow/Haul button does is change the way your transmission shifts. Your Suburban will be able to tow that car without anny problems. The tow/haul button should be engaged. When in this mode the transmission will shift at a later point. Thus giving you more power.

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

Tow Haul Mode

Answer 3

The tow/haul button usually just keeps the transmission from going into overdrive. I wouldn't drive the speed limit with a large load although the vehicle can probably handle the weight. Problem comes if it starts swaying and can overturn your Suburban. Drive about 50 and don't worry about the tow button.

Answer 4

the tow/haul switch changes the shift mapping in the transmission. If you are towing you should have it engaged. Your Suburban will tow 10000 lbs or so...towing your trailer should not be a problem at all

Answer 5

Well, if you check names, places, dates, and events metioned in the bible you will find it authentic. Also, there are recently many archeological events, and places that are proving it to be true. The ancient scrolls that have been found also back up much of the bible. One other fact to be considered is that the books of the bible were written many hundreds of years apart. Many of the authors did not know each other. If you think about it communications in those days were slow and handwritten so the chance of mistakes is great, however, when reading the various books you will find they correlate. Some have more facts about a happening than others but the event is the same. Perhaps if you really studied the bible you would understand it better. There are many groups that do this and analyze it verse by verse, chapter by chapter. It is a facinating look into life and what the people of those days learned is still applicable to us today. Human nature changes little, but what you can do to make your life better does not. The One who came to us with these lessons for a better life gave His for us.

Answer 6

the tow hual button is there for a reason. you should use it anytime you're towing something or hualing a heavy load. This button will most likely turn off your overdrive. it may also slightly change your shift points to reduce wear on the trnasmission. I put my truck in the tow hual mode when driving in small towns or on real curvey or hilly roads just so it isn't constanlty shifting in and out of overdrive. (no load mine goes into overdrive about 35 miles per hour)

One does not count the change to prove anything. One could say if you are a good Christian you count the change to make sure that which you have been blessed with is in keeping with the blessing and the gratitude of that which one has been so loving bestowed. One does not become ungrateful thus taking their blessing-in this case money for granted. Nor does one take their blessing, money, as a right or an entitlement bestowed upon them simply because they are Gods child. One is grateful and diligent is the usage of any blessings they have. To do other wise would be as I have stated an ungrateful, demanding and selfish child. God gives us means to live by and expects us to us those means accordingly. The proof is not in the counting, the proof is in the "keeping of the truth and honesty of all we come into contact with". By counting the money we are due back we not only acknowledge our understanding where the money came from we also give proof that honesty is something everyone is responsible for. ..! Count your blessing child, for in there lies your answer.
