Most vehicles can be towed in tow/haul mode with the rear wheels off the ground. However, this mode is not recommended for large or heavy vehicles.

The front axle should be turned so that it’s pointing straight ahead and the weight should be distributed evenly on both axles.

How to Use Tow/Haul Mode
In tow/haul mode, the truck’s drivetrain is activated to move the trailer. Tow/Haul mode is typically used when pulling a large load or when moving a heavy object. The following steps will help you get started using tow/haul mode:

2. Make sure your trailer is properly attached to your truck. To ensure a secure connection, use bolts that are at least 3 inches long and tighten them using a wrench. If you’re using an electric brake kit, make sure it’s properly connected as well.
3. Put on your safety gear and start your truck. You’ll need both hands to operate the controls while driving in tow/haul mode. Keep your eyes open for obstacles and stay alert for traffic around you.
