Successfully towing my 3822lb Camper this weekend

[2020Telly]

Can somebody opine if the Telly installed tow package is a class IV or Class III please?

It's a limited Class III towing class. The Telluride has a 2-inch receiver but is limited to 500lbs max tongue weight and 5,000lbs max towing. Some people define Class III as capable of higher. However, the Telluride is definitely higher than a Class II which is a 1-1/4-inch receiver, 350lbs max tongue weight, and 3,500lbs max towing and no where near the minimums for a typical Class IV definition.

2" receiver is what I was looking for.

Thank you

I believe it is a class III — it doesn’t meet weight specs for class IV. It is definitely a 2” receiver though.

Owners manual page 5-87 says not to use the Smart cruise control and LFA while towing. I wonder if it's because the sudden stop could cause the trailer to jackknife? I also shut off the A/C while towing uphill as the owner's manual says - definite difference in power when I do that. I still have to get everything weighed to make sure I am under the max. But my trailer followed like a dream!

Yes, I turn off all the lame centering stuff as it causes crazy back and fourth. So annoying. What's also annoying, the K5 has a button in steering wheel for this...and can even be enabled without cruise control.

We only turn off the ac on steel/long grades. Not so steep hills, we leave it on.
