Towing Checklist

Let me know what you got, much appreciated!

Awesome, thank you so much for this. There's a lot more tech involved then I'm used to with this vehicle so I wanted to make sure I get everything. I'm not a big fan of cruise control either and have only used it to see how it works.

With every other vehicle I've ever towed with I've taken it out of overdrive when pulling. Do you folks just pull in drive or one gear down?
