If your like me you will find that while in tow/haul the transmission will downshift to aggressively at times you dont need or want it to. I almost never used tow/haul when going downhill unless it was tight switchbaks.
I've got a 14k trailer, almost never use tow/haul either, largely due to the aggressive downshifting when you touch the brakes. It literally downshifts through every gear.
I am not unhappy with the way my truck shifts, but I agree about the tow/haul issue. It is programmed to automatically begin downshifting to the lowest gear possible if you let off the accelerator. Sometimes I just want to be able to coast, and I feel as this prevents me from doing so.
With tow/haul, plus the exhaust brake, my truck/trailer will end up going slower than I want to - even down the steep Colorado passes.
Because of this, I usually do not use the tow/haul mode.
