If it's 'hunting' for gears at all, then use 4 Manual. The transmission will shift normally up to 4 and then hold there with the torque converted locked. It doesn't matter if you use Tow Mode or not. At least on my early 2004 truck it doesn't. I have found Tow mode to be totally useless, and I tow a 6500# travel trailer.

I agree, with the wind restance or drag from a TT you should be towing in 4th. Also, lots of people doing 70 mph or greater. The ST type tires are only rated for 65 mph. Slow down, 65 is plenty fast enought with a trailer behind you.
