Hybrid Maverick towing observations [*Hybrid talk only*]

[ejouie]

If you've read my previous postings you may have seen an inexpensive, viable option is put air bags inside the rear springs to keep the truck level (or mostly level) while towing. That alone will keep more weight on the front tires. Some like a weight distribution hitch to accomplish the same, but that puts "bending" strain on the unibody frame.

I interpreted the statement about FWD limiting was including the air bags. Load rating perhaps?

1. The Enclave weighs 1000lbs more than a Maverick.

Yes, but less of a front bias.

2. Stiffer rear suspension in the Enclave due to more of the weight (passenger compartment) being over the rear axle.

Probably true.

3. Trailer brake controller installed from the factory.

LOL. Nope. Buick did not make this idiot proof. They stopped at a plug for one tape under the dash. I added a Tekonsha 90160 Primus IQ .
