Well, I'm fed up with the normal shifting points. I'll be in traffic, going about 30-40 and the trany shifts into 5th gear!! Unless you mash the gas pedal, you're not going anywhere. So, I tried driving w/ the Overdrive off but then it never shifts into 4th. I've found that driving in Tow/Haul mode allows for more aggressive shifting, while shifting into all of the gears according to a predetermined speed; which usually is right around were I would shift If it were a manual....Im happy with this but my question.....Is it alright to drive in Tow/Haul mode all of the time? Besides the little cut in MPG, is there anything I should be worried about??
I drive in O/D off all the time as long as I stay under 50ish...the truck drives 100x better and the MDS stays off. Tow/Haul holds the shifts too long forme..
