Guess I'll be slowing down a bit from my old TC speeds.
Your trailer is pretty heavy and causing the shifting to occur more. Tow Mode is designed to prevent the constant shifting. And remember, pulling a trailer, the shifting is harder. Over time, more sifting and harder shifting will take it's toll on transmission. Tow mode is there for a reason. Use it. I found when I use tow mode, the fuel consumption difference is so minor. But the benefits of tow mode more than outweigh the slight difference in fuel costs. Tow mode does allow the transmission to shift, it just shifts at higher RPM's to prevent so much shifting back and forth between gears without tow mode.
I strongly advise using tow mode. It will save your transmission. You'll get use to it.
