I've done a few long trips in my 07 ram 1500 and have always just put tow/haul on and left it on the entire time. After reading some different views here I figured I would shut it off because I was on a flat road and maybe get a little better mileage.
My suggestion is to always use Tow/Haul mode when hooked to a trailer regardless of hills or flat land. No matter what your elevation, a trailer puts additional stresses on the chassis and drive train. The Tow/Haul mode is designed to help the vehicle accommodate for that stress to make the best power for towing while also reducing the potential for damage to the drive train.
