I searched owners manual and find no mention of what drive mode Telluride should be in when towing a trailer. Does any one have any comments ?

I found the same with the manual. Towed similar trailer (3500 pounds) about 500 miles. Used all setting and found little if any differences. Did not try to access gas mileage.
Noted in SMART setting it bounced around ECO, COMFORT. I don't understand SMART.

It is my understanding that the smart mode will use whatever mode the vehicle determines to be best at any given time dependent upon the driving conditions. So it will bounce from one mode to another.

MilissaH72,
Thanks for the info. Just did not understand why the change. Flat country, same driving so why change. Guess it is changes I don't detect but the computer does.
