Cruise Control in Tow Haul Mode: Tips and Safety Considerations
Tow haul mode is a feature in some vehicles that optimizes the transmission and engine performance for towing heavy loads. When activated, tow haul mode adjusts the shift points, throttle response, and braking to provide better control and stability while towing. Cruise control is a system that maintains a set speed without driver intervention. Cruise control can be used in tow haul mode to reduce driver fatigue on long trips, but it is important to be aware of the limitations and potential risks of doing so. Cruise control can be a useful tool when towing, but it is important to use it safely and responsibly. Drivers should always be aware of their surroundings and be prepared to take over control of the vehicle if necessary. Cruise control should not be used in slippery or icy conditions, or when towing a load that is too heavy for the vehicle.
