Hey,
Here is how I tow my TT - I have a 2013 Chevy Duramax.
As soon as I leave with my trailer connected I press my tow button and put on my exhaust brake. Works great. My understanding is that the tow mode keeps your RMPS a bit higher so that your truck doesn't have to shift or work as hard. Personally, I believe they put that tow mode on the truck for a reason - use it! As for the Exhaust brake, I live in a hilly area, so I love using it. It feels solid and safe. Just my two cents...Good luck!
