At 1300lbs I don't think I would want to tow daily, but if you do it every now and again you shouldn't have too much trouble.
I agree that adding a tranny cooler would be a good investment. If you have the ELC system, I think that will give you all sorts of fits every time you hit a bump and the trailers receivers transfers the weight and the ECL commands to pump the shocks up. If you have the ELC, I would wire in a disconnect switch and shut it down after they pump up to level the car after the trailer is connected. The biggest problem will be to find a hitch and receiver that will work on your car and still give you ground clearance. |
I don't think he has ELC, but even if he did, the system has timers on it, I think they are in the neighborhood of 15 seconds.

The only timer I can find is the exhaust solenoid on the system. It will set a DTC if open for more than 10 seconds (based on my 2000 FSM). I'm still digging though..... |

Have fun with the gas mileage decrease while towing that thing LOL. I owned a Avalanche with a 8k towing capacity and when towing a 3k pontoon boat my mileage went from 21MPG to about 6-8MPG.
My dad has an Avalanche, and since owning it new he has hated it. In the shop alot and his only gets about 15-16 MPG avg. He got rid of an old F150 and actually misses it I think. Thing was bulletproof |

I could actually go from Crestview, FL to West Memphis, Arkansas on a single tank. |
