2018 Equinox


Recommended Posts

(1) According to the 2018 Motorhome Magazine Dinghy Towing Guide, it is. The best thing to do though is to check the owner's manual.

(2) No modern vehicle has an odometer that operates when the ignition is one on. They have all been electric for a very long time.

"Front-wheel-drive (1.5L gas FWD/ 1.6L diesel) and AWD (1.6L diesel only) vehicles can be towed. Shift transmission to Neutral. Ignition to ACC. Turn off accessories. Run vehicle at the beginning of each day and at each fuel stop for about 5 minutes. See owner’s manual."

Be sure to check the owner's manual !!

IIRC - When the transmissions were upgraded (date? - 2018? - or -2019?) the answer changed to "NO". > > (Gas engines)

My 2016 was/is a "YES" - and my owner's manual indicates it's  "OK".

BTW:  I wanted a six cyl  rather than a 4 cyl, with Front Wheel Drive. That combo not available with Equinox. Went with GMC Terrain (same as Equinox - except for FWD w/ 6 cyl, gas)

Soooooo ...... *verify* and double check the yes/no by model year/s

😉

I  have seen published dingy towing guides that are just plan wrong for a specific vehicle. The owner manual for that particular vehicle is the final authority.

All vehicle owners manuals are available online today.
