Towing 2024 Equinox on tow dolly

Reading some posts about battery going dead , makes me wonder if there may be something to be aware of. Previously was dolly towing a 2021 Envision, and plan to do same with Equinox.

Chevy changed the flat tow procedure for the 2023 and 2024 to mandate that the battery must he disconnected.

So no more dead batteries.

Don't know about the dolly procedure, though.

Thanks , I had to disconnect the Buick battery to keep the parking brake from coming on. Was hoping for some experience towing 24 Equinox using tow dolly. Saw on a post disconnecting the negative did not totally disconnect. ??

The 2024 Equinox owners manual: https://www.chevrolet.com/bypass/pcf...27_2P_INS1.pdf

See page 2 for the new process. Yes, for a dolly the battery needs disconnected.

If you do not remove ALL of the wires then the battery is not disconnected.

Page 2 Step 8 under Dolly Towing of the link I posted. If you're looking in your physical manual it won't have it. You should have been mailed a supplement.
