I'm towing a 6,000 lbs travel trailer with my PB. Is it always best to be in tow driving mode? When I'm towing in stop and go traffic, tow mode will never allow electric driving. Maybe it's best to leave it in normal or eco mode in low speed/low power situations. The manual indicates tow mode...
I'm also towing an Imagine 2400bh. I got 11 mpg today driving over 200 miles at 5,000-8,000 feet altitude. Top speed was 65 mph. I'm also getting better fuel efficiency as I break in the truck, currently at almost 6,000 miles.
It seems like my fuel economy is affected by the gas octane far more when I'm towing than regular driving. While towing a 6000lbs trailer at 65 mph with 87 octane I get less than 7 mpg but with 91 octane I get 10+ mpg. I suspect when the turbos are being used a lot then octane matters more.
When...
I saw that if you order a custom truck it's only about $250 to change to tow mirrors. I bought a truck that was in stock. So I would have to have the regular mirrors removed and buy new tow mirrors. I have the tow package and technology package.
Sam, Can you tell me how much you paid to get the tow mirrors? I really wanted these but the dealer told me it would cost $3000 so they recommended aftermarket.
