Re: Towing In "D" versus "4th" Gear w/Tow Mode

Throw up another D-tower here. Well, at least I 'was'.

I would use tow mode and 4th to get up to highway speeds and then kick it into D. Keep an eye on the tranny temp gauge. More than once I had to kick it back down to 4th for a few miles to bring the temp needle off of H.

That was with a 27' travel trailer and gear topping out around the low 6000# mark.
