Auto Start in Tow Mode

[HemiCane]

Does anyone know if the auto start is disabled when you select tow mode. Also if its disabled does that also include the extra torque you get from the etorq system. ?

I would assume it is not disabled, since that extra torque is really only to allow the truck to begin moving before the engine starts and they tout it helps with towing.

Will be interested to see what the community says.

Thanks for the reply, I towed my boat for the first time today and noticed the Auto Stop did not engage the entire time.

The auto stop/start is most likely disabled, but I'm sure the e-torque system is still helping from a standing start

Auto stop/start is disabled, shift points are changed, and aero mode is disabled (for trucks with air suspension). And like @devildodge, I doubt eTorque is ever “disabled”, especially when towing. Note that the unicorn “max towing” configuration can only be had with eTorque.

I’ve actually seen the unicorn config on a few dealers lots as work trucks. A quick check shows a close one on one of he olde random car listings, as a tradesman with the eTorque with vin 1C6RRECT5KN905279 showing via the ram trucks towing lookup page w/ 1896 payload and 11996 towing. They put on the chrome and L1 packages and I don’t see a brake controller oddly, but it’s got the right engine, axle, etc. I’ve seen at least a couple that were the perfect setup ‘Max’ with brake controller, 3.92, 18” wheels, eTorque, class IV hitch, and almost nothing else.

It's disabled as soon as you select/tow haul mode.

When I select my tow/haul I’ve noticed the following.
eco mode disabled...
auto start/stop disabled....
aero mode disabled...
Up shift points changed...
downshift Points changed...

additionally, after turning off the truck and restarting it I have to select tow/haul again as the system resets every time I shut down the truck.
