Tow Haul Mode
When and how often do you guys put it in tow haul mode? Just when your coming to a big hill? Do you leave it in tow haul when you have a load? Is it hard on the tranny or motor to leave it in for a long period of time? I dont really use mine but some people use it religiously. Whata you guys think?

i never used mine, plus it doesn't work past like 60 if i recall correctly? if i was goin slow enough i'd just shift it myself, if not then i'd just let it do its own thing to maintain its speed, and as far as hurting anything no, all it does is keep it in the same gear for longer, i never had any issues, average weight i had to haul was around 14k give or take

normally the converter will lock in highway speeds to improve fuel efficiency with a true 1:1 ratio so full engine power gets though the transmission.
on the dmaxes when you put in t/h mode the convertor will begin to lock up in 2nd gear, so all your torque is used, and raises the shift points under normal driving conditions to reduce the load
