Hello,
Have a new '19 Tahoe LS, just turned over 600 miles. Test-pulling my small RV today, only about 3200 pounds GVW, checked the manual.
Manual says to limit top speed to FIFTY MILES PER HOUR for the first 500 miles!!!!
Seems excessively on the cautious side to me??? And, on that run, I'll be hauling in February 550 miles, departing The Frozen North in no doubt sub-zero temps.
Fact is, there is not enough daylight to travel 550 miles at 50 mph that time of year, and driving at night is not a good thing for me anymore.
I normally haul the trailer at 62-65 mph.
I really don't want to haul the trailer around for nothing except to meet the miles requirement between now and February.
Thoughts on this?? I don't want to void the warranty, and the Tahoe has a black box, no doubt would flag this.
