I would personally like to see a TM setting that works in conjunction with the cruise control, because I have personally given up on using the cruise control while towing unless there is a tail wind. Seems like the cruise lags to much before reacting. I guess that it (cruise)could just be better. The TM could do more also.
Not to be a nag, but you shouldn't be towing using cruise control. IIRC the owner's manual states this as well. It can be very dangerous as you have no direct, immediate control over the vehicle
