Alright guys,
22 XLT with max tow. We reside in the mitten state, so not a ton of terrain here. We pull this thing all over the place with no issues. We are heading to Salt Lake City to see the in laws, then traveling down to Arizona to enjoy Lake Powell this week.
With the lack of long decents here in Michigan and the upcoming 5-7% grades going into SLC, I was curious if anyone has learned how to use the engine braking feature. From what i've gathered, if in Tow/Haul mode, when you apply the brake pedal, the engine braking will engage as well. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of using engine braking if I need my foot on the break the whole time?
Am I missing something or do we think the engine brake will remain engaged even after releasing the brake pedal?
