2017 Suburban Flat Tow

I have a 2017 Chevy Suburban that I would like to flat tow. It is equipped with 4wd high but not 4wd low or neutral on the 4wd drive button. The owners manual says it I had a single speed transmission. I read that all 4wd drive suburbans can be flat towed. But, the 2017 dingy towing guide says the suburban needs to be equipped with 4 low and a neutral option on the 4wd knob. Does anyone have experience with this suburban?

Your Owners Manual says you CAN NOT tow it.

What does your control Knob look like? My Silverado is a 2012 but the neutral only lights up at start up. It’s not the same white color as 2/4wd options. And the neutral procedure is done before start up.

Sounds to me like you’ll need a plan B.
