3.5EB tow haul mode lethargic.

[Larry Arizona]

3.5EB SCrew with max tow, towing appx 8000# double axle boat trailer.

My observation is in tow haul mode, the throttle tip in is very mild, and it takes a lot of pedal travel to get it to downshift for aggressive acceleration.

My 2018 3.5EB didn’t seem this lethargic in tow haul mode.

perhaps tow haul introduces significant torque management and transmission shift logic to preserve drivetrain longevity?

Next time out, I will try normal mode to confirm if it is mode related or trailer weight related.

Well hello there, Larry. Glad to see you got your truck!

Hey man, glad to see a fellow V member here.

Update: tried normal mode today and more responsive, but you lose some of the transmission braking.

Tow haul mode is better, you just need more pedal input. I was just being to easy on it.

Plenty of power to pull 8000# boat set up.

That is a pretty boat.

And, truck too!
