Re: Towing Long Distance?

Shouldn't have any problems.

Make sure to use your "power mode" when taking off from stops as well as if you start any climbing.

Rule of thumb, as Rodeo02 stated, take it easy, don't push it, and baby that transmission.

I tow 3-3,500# with my 97 V6 Auto a lot, never have had any problems.

Just remember any slightest of incline, kick that "power mode" on BEFORE you start climbing. It may not kick on "right" then, but it will, and let it be the judge.

I usually put mine in D with Power mode and leave it there when climbing the famous I-70 Rocky Mountain corridor. Flat ground starting out I use Power mode, then shut it off.
