#8 of 12 Re: Brake Controller - Towing U-Haul 6x12 trailer [paisan] by harop Sep 27, 2007 (6:08 am)
Replying to: paisan (Sep 27, 2007 4:52 am) Thanks All,   I feel good and safe now I have the harness and it was left in the glove box when I bought the truck. Hence I think someone must have used it before me. Anyway I don't need it now. I have around 34+K on odometer (it is a 2006 model) and am planning to have all gear oils changed before moving. Does anyone knows any details, like transmission oil filter change is needed, or any gasgets, etc.   Thanks, -haro
#9 of 12 Farm Towing by crustyroads Jun 08, 2008 (3:24 am)
My 06' turns out to be the perfect tower for our farm.  We regurlarly tow a 4horse trailer with 2 horses on board and load the Armada with saddles and gear.  We also tow hay(4 horse trailer fully loaded)frequently from the North Ga mtns to Ocala,Fl.About 6500LBS without a Load leveler with NO swaying problems(99% interstate).  We now have 40K miles on it and it is a great SUV to run these mountain curves with (25mph-many).  I HIGHLY recommend the Armada and that's said after my 400 races I've driven(retired).  The trailer has electric brakes and my controler is easily adjusted.  This is the one if your looking PS:No service problems,perfect mechanical record.

#11 of 12 Tow/haul feature by portman200 Aug 17, 2009 (8:22 pm)
I do not notice a difference when towing a 8k lb load when I energize the Tow/Haul button. When I purchased my Armada, it did not have a hitich. I purchased one from the dealer and it came with the light plug in and relays. My electric brakes and lights work fine, but I do not feel a difference in shifting. I just drove it 14 hrs round trip pulling my camper and I had it in 4th gear the entire time. I guess I was expecting it to shift differenty.   Has anyone delt with this or is my system faulty?

Replying to: portman200 (Aug 17, 2009 8:22 pm) I only tow a 3500 pound boat, but I can tell that the tow/haul mode seems to hold shifts a bit longer and downshift a bit more quickly. It is rather seemless, though. You'd really have to pay attention to it.
