Cruise Control While Towing

[Mike76]

I use cruise control while towing all the time. Better MPG, consistent speed and more relaxing drive. We tow in the western US frequently where traffic is less so it’s a no brainer.

Do you use the gear limiter while in cruise control? Lock out 6th gear for example.

I put it in D and when I get to speed I set the cruise control. My travel trailer is about 6K lbs, once at speed gear shifting is rare.

No just set tow/haul it does what it needs to do i put my evic on the multi gauge page and keep an eye on temps they are always where the need to be unless im plowing they start to get warm

I have always used "cruise" when towing. It makes for a much more relaxing drive. Obviously, when in traffic it is off. I will be interested to experiment with the ACC on the new truck when I get it.

I like using CC when towing and out of traffic. I usually kick it off when approaching large grades or sharper curves. Other than that I just let it do it’s thing in tow/haul mode. I usually drop it a few MPH when approaching steep down grades but still leave it in CC if traffic allows.

I find the adaptive cruise works fairly well while towing when traffic isn't too heavy.
