First Tow

I put 500 miles on the new SD and towed Saturday for the first time.
I am fortunate in that I tow this boat 4-5 times every month so I certainly know how it handles with the old rig and as expected, really nice with the new rig.


This may have been discussed in another thread but when in tow haul mode and slowing down, like at a light or intersection, I swear I feel the engine braking kicking on?

You may be feeling the transmission gearing down for you. Unless you have the engine brake switch turned on (auto or manual) the actual engine brake isn't happening.
