Wizards&OZ Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Anybody towing a 2010-2016 Chevy Equinox? Research has shown me that a V6 is best to avoid the "Death Wobble" and only requires 1 fuse to be pulled/switched off. Any other problems or issues?

Bill Joyce Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Been towing a 2012 AWD with the 4-cylinder since 2012. We have encountered the death wobble a few times, but we know what to do to to get it to calm down. We do use a fuse switch. For us it tows great, I think better than the 2002 AWD CRV we had before.

DAVE&TONI Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Have been towing a 2018 Equinox LT since Nov 18. To stop the "death Wobble" as I was told, was to leave all the fuses in as these vehicles have electric assist steering. When you make those hard turns, the steering doesn't help to bring it back to straight. Of course, this means keeping the battery charged either by an on board charger like some of the brake assist people have or, as I have done, us a small solar battery charger suction cupped to the windshield. Works for me. No wobbles so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakejumper Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 We've been towing a 2011 Equinox 6cyl AWD for 3 years. Instead of pulling the fuse, we had the brake installer put in a switch. I read many threads on the 4cyl "death wobble" and it appears that leaving the fuse in will fix the issue with the steering.

tfavorite Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 We bought a 2018 Equinox Premier in February. Wired it for towing; be sure and wire it to charge battery. Not necessary to pull fuses or disconnect battery as a result. Stick it in neutral, put it in accessory mode and hook up. Tows like a dream. Only thing I don't like about the car is that it locks automatically if the fob goes more than a couple feet away from the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
