Tow Haul.......When?
2003 GMC 2500HD pulling a roughly 11,000 LB 5th. Would you leave it in Tow/Haul on flat/level highways? Or do you put it in t/h and leave it?

I see your point but disagree. Yes, pulling a 4k RV on the flat in a 30 mph headwind is probably harder on the truck than pulling a 10K low profile trailer in the same conditions. However, I used to tow a 4K RV with a Ford Aerostar up and over a mountain pass, and while it struggled it got the job done. Trying the same thing with a 10K flatbed would have resulted in lots of transmission smoke and a ride behind a tow truck.
