Any experience towing a trailer? I will be towing a 3,000 pound trailer and want to know what issues to beware of. I read that a trailer should not be towed with the transmission in overdrive. Is that true of the MO's CVT? Should I be installing a transmission fluid cooler or oil cooler? Any known CVT issues? Suspension issues? Thanks.

No problems at all, and from everything I know, you SHOULD NOT install any coolers. I believe in your owner's manual/warranty book it states that it would actually void your warranty, you may want to double check that.

I just started towing my new tent trailer which weighs around 3600lbs when loaded and it's a breaze. No problems on acceleration or braking.
