Flat towing vehicles

[Just George]

Dutch Star Don has the right idea regarding make sure the vehicle you are purchasing will in fact go into the proper configuration to be flat towed. The tricky part could be the owners manual. When I purchased my 2023 Silverado the printed manual that came with the vehicle was an abbreviated version of the full manual that is posted on the Chevrolet Owners manual web page. The paper manual that came with the truck does not have the section on flat towing as well as several topics that are covered in the "full" manual. Sooooo my advice is print out all of the flat tow / recreational vehicle tow portion of the online manual which may also need to include a section on putting the transmission / transfer case into the correct mode and take it with you to the dealer.

 

[Texas Clodhopper]

I met the Texas Clodhopper for the first time at a rally last month in Utah. You're right, he was always first at the rally too.....first to the dinner line, first to the hors d'oeuvres line, first to the dessert line, but both first and last to the wine line.

So what's your point?
