Towing the rig in my sig. At 65 mph RPM are almost identical in Tow mode or regular. I use tow all the time with the TT because I like the lock up of the trans and it aids in slowing because it makes the auto trans behave more like a manual when you let off the throttle. It doesn't free wheel coast like an automatic. It will stay engaged and let the engine slow you. Now I know your newer Ram probably has the factory exhaust brake so this is less of a concern but also the Tow mode engages different programs in the computer such that extra cooling is taking place in the trans by routing fluid in a slightly different way. Basically you are telling the truck that it should be prepared for more work. The engine doesn't necessarily care, it is more to let the truck protect the trans.
