Sport mode vs tow mode on the 2019 AT4

[CliffH]

Anyone know if the shift points and other tranny/engine changes are the same between the sport mode and tow mode? I suspect they are identical, with the sport mode just adding suspension and steering tweaks.

Touring, Sport and Tow Haul are really just differences in shift points. Touring is mostly for fuel economy and cruising. Sport is mostly about staying in the meat of the powerband. Tow haul optimizes your shift for towing and with be more aggressive with engine braking. Haven't used offroad mode yet but probably will this weekend. No noticeable difference in steering weight with my AT4 at least when changing between driving modes. No suspension changes with changing modes since the AT4 does not get the adaptive suspension that I believe is available on Denali's.

 

Not sure which trim level you have since you have 2019 Denali AT4 in your "Drives" field since Denali and the AT4 are separate trim levels. I hope however what I provided helps with your question and I'm sure others will chime in if I missed something.

What is a Denali AT4? I thought they were separate trims? At4 comes with a standard suspension and a 2 inch lift and the Denali adaptive ride control.

Sorry, yes I have the AT4. Not the Denali.

I'm pretty sure tow mode cancels Auto Start/Stop.

If you don't have the Tech Package, you only get Sport/Tow on the dial and a choice of 4X4 drive modes on buttons.
