i’ve read not to use tow haul and exhaust brake when raining but not sure if towing on mountain though
Where did you read that? Makes me wonder if the context is lost or if the person who wrote it has any idea what they're referring to?
Don't use Cruise Control when raining, snowing or ice on the road. An engine brake is similar to gearing down your tow vehicle and that is something you always want to be doing in the mountains. You just don't want to be at a high rate of speed and then drop down two gears while on snow/ice or even rain as that can cause loss of traction. Everything in moderation when driving with questionable road conditions.
