Not aware of any way to program the nav for low bridges. You might need a gps for truckers if you need this feature.

I have only figured out how to avoid tolls.

I use a rand McNally rv gps when I have the 5er.

Sure would be nice just to use the onboard nav for towing but I don't see it as a feature to use for that purpose.

Unloaded it works great.
