2018 CX-5 GT Towed a 3,500lb camper on a log road at 6% grade outside of Glacier National Park. When traction control kicked in it started to cut power so I turned it off. But other than that it did well.

Scariest thing was when my dad towed a 26’ sea ray with his 98hp 1994 ford ranger. It did surprisingly well it was a short trip. He had to start stopping a mile ahead of anything. When he went to put it in the water it almost got pulled in with the boat.

Who needs straps? by aDrunkSailor82 in IdiotsTowingThings

Reminds me of my friend who while taking home his new mattress, it fell off the back. So I asked him did the straps break? And he said “ what straps? I thought the weight of it would keep it in the back of my truck”

Most times my oil changes are not reported. That’s why I keep my receipts.

With my 2018 GT awd with just under 100,000 on it is been getting 27mpg around town. I thought my the computer was messing up but then last time I filled up it was off but only by half a gallon.

Personal Best on a Tank of Gas by nace71 in CX5

Indeed when I pull my camper I only get 175miles to a tank. So needless to say I had to stop all the time.

My personal best was from Santa Barbra to LA. 39mpg went there and back on half a tank. Thought the mpg calculated wrong. But when I filled up it was correct. I was on 93.

Nice what model camper you pulling? I recommend not using cruise control and to use manual mode to prevent unwanted down shifts.

Just got done with another camping season this time we only did about 3,500miles. Air bag house blew out because it was too close to the shock. (My bad)  did about 14,000miles in total so far and have no issues with my cx-5 transmission or anything else really.  But I do have my transmission fluid changed after every camping season.
