Tow haul mode. Why and when should you use it?

Tow haul mode.

[@9istari]

Great information! I have the 4th gen and as a matter of course always turn on the tow haul .
I definitely feel the difference when it’s not on.

[@Ron-N-Ellen-Adventures]

Great info for me with my new to me 2018 4th gen, I only load with a truck camper and tow a 1500 lb boat. Looking forward to more. Thanks.

[@EricFortuneJr.]

I’d recommend it with the exhaust brake just to minimize brake jobs. Those rear rotors on the dually can get you good, trailer brakes too. $$

[@geoffmooregm]

On my Toyota is also re maps the throttle pedal, so you don't have to put your foot down so far to get a normal feeling of acceleration. I would bet most drive by wire systems do the same.

BEST effing VIDEO on the SUBJECT!!!!!!!!! Thank you

[@XSteele]

Thanks Paul, as always informative and valuable

[@agger838]

I turn it on unhooked when coming to a stop with engine break on, saves brakes. Also turn it on unhooked wen i wanna pass up granny..
When hooked its always on when accelerating or slowing down...once i get up to speed ill turn it off if its holding a lower gear for no reason

[@crazyhass84]

After all your experiences would u buy a 2019 5th gen now or 2018 for 7k less?

[@Hundert1]

Thank you! I wish the truck companies did a thorough video explaining each function and feature. I've got the four wheel drive off road version 2019 Ram 1500 5.7 gas engine with E- torque. Is that considered 4th or 5th gen? So would you recommend me always using the tow/haul mode when I'm towing a 5000 pound 25 foot travel trailer no matter if on long flat highways or on lots of hilly roads and in city traffic? Thanks for caring and trying to explain this feature to us.👍

[@rodneyhowell2703]

I turn it on when driving in snow or rain.it gives you firmer gears when driving.

[@Lamtitude]

YES! It’s so much better in the snow.

[@Kalanioccc]

im about to buy my first diesel and i have no clue what im doing

[@maxgarcia9512]

Thanks for your video but you going to have to explain this more specifically because I had trans problems. Now I do not know how or why I did, but here is what happened. I have a 2021 Dodge 2500 4x4 Big Horn with a 6.7l Cummins Diesel, and it has under 10,000 miles. It has a 68RFE Transmission. I was hauling my fifth wheel in the Tow/Haul Mode and my transmission stopped pulling normal freeway driving. When I pulled over and checked my fluids, all fluid levels were fine. However, when I put the transmission in drive or reverse, it would not move. After having it towed to the dealership (Still under Warranty) they informed me my Transmission pump went bad. Can you explain that on a brand new vehicle?? This happened while I was moving forward on the freeway. It's like it went limp. Thank God I was able to find a location to pull over. I'm really baffled. So, I thought to reach out and ask some of you expects on transmissions what you think. Because I am not happy with a brand-new truck and transmission under warranty doing that. I feel like trading the SOB in. Your thoughts please. Thanks

[@CommanderBacon64]

What if you have an engine tuning with transmission tuning? I tried the tow/haul mode and quickly turned it off because the power band and shifting was better without the tow/haul with the tuning.

[@Smiling_mike]

He referring to "stock" I believe.

[@HisWayHomestead]

@@Smiling_mike I agree, but I was asking the question about what if it had tuning...

[@tznutz4824]

So basically tow/haul makes the truck perform in comfort mode as sport+ would put my bmw in race mode. So its a button on a ford truck that, if pressed, self tune itself to adapt to the road condition when hauling a load???

[@SOU6900]

This guy is running a Ram so a Ford may be different. I can say though that on the 2016 F250 we have at work I can't tell a difference in how it shifts with tow/haul mode on vs off.

[@davidraymond9551]

So I’m new to the diesel world. I bought a 2019 ram 3500 with the aisin transmission manly right now I just pull my boat. It’s about 5000lbs loaded down. I put it in tow/haul mode and while driving I don’t notice much difference but when I hit the brake I notice the rpms jump up to around 3000 rpm like the engine is down shifting. Is this normal? Seems like it’s hard on the transmission when it does this. Thanks.

[@HSSANITO]

It’s supposed to do that it’s not bad for the transmission at all it’s an engine break basically

[@HSSANITO]

And also you might not notice much difference on tow haul because it’s only 5k lbs if it was like15k plus you’ll definitely notice a difference

[@codyostertag8831]

so i’ve got a 2011 6.7 cummins with 245,000, i just started using my exhaust brake regularly. I DO NOT tow and my truck is my mini van 😂 should i use BOTH the exhaust brake and tow haul or just the exhaust brake?

[@Hundert1]

What about downhill descent mode?

[@davidsiegel8706]

Where exactly (pic) is the tow haul switch?

[@ASVProductions]

I use mine when pulling stuff at work but also have a rat pack that’s 300ish lbs and a 600L slip tank in box. When it’s full would that be enough to bother?

[@jaimetarne9436]

Is it the same with a gasoline engine? I have a 2009 Dodge Ram STS. I haul a 17 foot travel trailer. Should I, as well, always turn on tow haul?

[@HSSANITO]

Yes you should everytime you tow something turn it on it helps a lot especially on down hills you might not feel like it helps because you’re not towing a lot but when you do you’ll notice a difference

[@jrodhd6015]

Good video

[@pabloajungo7630]

Did you ever owned a 3rd gen cummins?

[@THEINFAMOUSJLC]

Can I get started hot shotin with gmc v6

[@rfmonkey4942]

have you had a few "travelers" on the way dude, did you say gears or beers ?

[@cheeseymccheese7249]

Does your shifter on the 19s still have the manual select shift + - so you can shift gears yourself?

[@joehelbok8184]

My 19 has it they moved it to the bottom right side of the steering wheel instead of on the shifter.

[@antredwine2051]

So you can choose when to shift gears when you want to

[@tamiboelter2833]

So just to confirm, I leave it on. Rather than on/off then on again.

[@anthonysampson5649]

I have a 3500 pound toolbox should I be running tow haul mode

[@carlosh6497]

No you don’t have too, of course you can, but I have a trailer around the same weight and when empty I don’t use tow mode,

[@vinnyivanov2906]

This looks like eastern washington or oregon

My toe hole switches busted on my '97 Ford that I bought for $100 would a three-way light switch work relocated to the dash so I can put a 1/3 scale pool ball on my gear shift automatic that is
