Hello Fellow Travelers!
I am trying to educate myself on flat towing a 2011 Chevy Traverse behind my 2019 Thor Ace motor coach. The curb weight of my Travers is 4790 lbs so I am well under the limit for towing capacity. My concern is over heating the transmission while towing up and down hills or even mountains. We are planning a trip to Wyoming, Yellowstone, etc. and I know that climbs and descents will be unavoidable. I will use truck map or some other app for planning the most favorable route for our motor coach.
What do I need to know to keep from burning up my transmission?
Thank you and safe travels!
