6 speed transmission questions.
So I came out of the ice age and got a Suburban with the new 6 speed transmission (PRNDM_1). Reading the manual, it seems a little daunting. So how do you use it when towing? And what about steep...

Manual 5 (keeps it out of 6th) and tow haul when towing. 6th gear is mostly useless when towing if you have 3.73 rear if you are downhill or perfectly flat with no headwind it can hold 6th but mostly it is useless.
I also use an ultra gauge which is an obdII port plug in set of extra gauges. Set it up with the engine load gauge. When you are climbing push the pedal till it says 100% and it will hold that gear giving it full power for that gear. If it loses speed push a little harder and it will downshift but it will tell you just how hard to push to get full power without downshifting.
