Tow/Haul button: what is it for?
Hi all, very noob question. Just purchased my second RV., 2012 24' Class C on E350. The tow/haul button automatically comes on when started. Sales person said to just turn it off. What is it used...

None of this is official just what I have found....
On my 2002 GMC 2500HD the tow haul mode was engaged by the driver when wanted, I can honestly say it did next to nothing anytime, I am not sure if it was the make of vehicle, the size or the year.
On my Ford E450 with the Majestic mounted to it the tow haul is on when the vehicle starts. When driving through a city or town (flat around here) it is almost too much as it is more jerky when driving due to the shifting change, take it off and it is so much better in town on the flats. On the highway for most driving it is fine, hills it rules up and down. It sure does save on the brakes, sure hauls going up hill.
Only issue with it is that when I am coming down hills and I tap the brakes it does down shift / hold the lower gear but when I go to start back up it pulls like it does not want to up shift. I am sure it is me but seems strange.
