Tow/Haul Mode in modern Chevy trucks adjusts the transmission’s shift points for increased power and torque at lower speeds and enhances engine braking to reduce brake strain, ideal for towing, heavy hauling, and mountain driving. Manual shifting can further optimize performance: downshifting for better control downhill and upshifting for improved fuel economy on level ground. To extend your Chevy transmission’s life, ensure regular maintenance, drive smoothly, and respect your truck’s towing and hauling limits.

If your truck is stuck in neutral, safety should be your first concern—park safely, engage the parking brake, and avoid driving. Begin by quickly checking the transmission fluid level and condition, and inspect the shifter linkage for loose or broken parts. For a deeper diagnosis, use an OBD-II scanner for trouble codes and try manually shifting the transmission with the engine off to isolate the issue. Common issues could stem from the transmission control module, internal transmission failures, or shifter malfunctions. If these checks don't resolve the issue, consult a professional mechanic with expertise in truck transmissions. Remember to record any unusual symptoms and refer to your owner's manual for specific troubleshooting advice.
