Yeah my PPV doesn't have that plus or minus or even the switch to activate urban lol.

To be honest, I just got it 4 weeks back. It's a 2013 SSV, and the trailer stuff... I have no idea how it works.
The switch under the dash is for a trailer with electrical brakes I was told. I don't know what the buttons on the shifter are for.

The Tow Haul mode revs higher in each gear as well as increases line pressures. You could find a tuner somewhere to make a custom tune that would be a medium between a driver/towing. Otherwise, the switch should plug/play but I'd bet the BCM will need to be flashed in order for it to work.

I used tow/haul with my 2002 Tahoe with this trailer. 285 HP with a 4 speed.

I just pulled this for the first time this weekend with my 2014 SSV, and did not need tow/haul, not close enough to the rated capacity.

I'm thinking the low profile bass boat towing won't need it either.

M5 prevents shift into 6 - not sure if 6 is called overdrive or not but with M5 it won't go there.

The wires are under the dash for a trailer package, but as mentioned above you will need your BCM flashed/tuned for the towhaul mode.

Is there a way to determine whether that already happened or not?
