22 XLT Hybrid! Just kidding... Glad I got the 4k tow package. Seriously feels like nothing is back there. $120 in rentals and 20mpg flat.

No it's not a speed it's FWD, car's 3000lbs at my best guess

Trailer light status is nice unless the ground on the home Depot rental sucks and is making the lights flicker I even cleaned out the 4 pin

I had it in tow mode most of the time with the car normal with the trailer we were moving... Gotta admit i threw her in sport for a pass...

we stayed up till 3 moving. I woke up early while my roommates slept in went to the racetrack 20 min away and layed down an embarrassing [email protected]... 5000 feet of altitude sucks!!!

POS Home Depot Trailer without electric brakes..... just drive in daylight only and leave the connection off. I wouldn't put up with dings every 20 seconds.

That’s good to know the the hybrid has the guts to tow that well.

The EB engines, of every displacement, have had the reputation for superb towing capability. Nice to know we aren’t out of the game in that respect.

And yes, 5,000ft definitely affects performance. The good thing is that it’s an equal opportunity HP/TQ robber. Everybody is marginally slower at high altitude, it all equals out.

The turbo helps a lot at altitude though, and the electric compensates just as well.

The poor small displacement, naturally aspirated, non hybrid vehicles don’t have that edge, especially going up the Rocky Mountain passes.
