I never use cruise towing in the mountains, and wonder why some do. I'm in no hurry, and its also hard on the power train.
Not so in the newer diesels with the exhaust brakes. The ECM/TCM will hold the set speed & downshift as necessary & the CM's will not let the motor self destruct. As posted tap the brakes on occasion to slow & hit resume.
