2011 Chevrolet Equinox Questions & Answers

  • What can I tow in a Chevrolet? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load.

Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
