Towing in overdrive or pushing the O/D button in

I am fairly new to RVing. I will be going on a 1400 mile trip pretty soon and will be towing my Chevy Cruze on a dolly. Just wondering from all the experience out there, should I leave the O/D button...

My 1997 Ford owner's manual says to turn off the overdrive while going up or down steep hills. My 2013 owner's manual says to use the tow/haul mode when towing. My mechanic who was a service manager for a Ford heavy duty truck dealer says don't tow in overdrive.
