Excellent details to know. I will have to do some experimenting the next time I have the Tahoe on the road and check out what you describe. My vehicle is a 2012 model with PRMDM shifting options and does have the "tow/haul" button. This is all very good info and helpful. I will also look...

Thank you Dennis for your additional information. The DIC does have "trans temp" shown as I scroll through the options. Looking at the drivers side door jam shows the following weight: GVWR 7,300 lbs, GAWR FRT 3,600 lbs, GAWR RR 4,100 lbs. I understand operating the tow/haul mode. But not...

I am interested in purchasing a Seafarer 228 with a hardtop and need some advice on towing this boat with my Chevrolet Tahoe (5.3 liter V8 engine). Does anyone have this same set up and if so, how well does it tow? I believe with a 250 HP 4 stroke with fuel, gear, hard top, kicker, trailer...
