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?

You folks who wish more control of your tranny as this discussion is about...consider getting a manual tranny on your next vehicle
I loved my 5 speed manual F-150 but my Torque Shift tranny is stronger than a clutch
and manual transmissions usually equate to a lower towing capacity. This probably why it is getting hard to even find a manual. On many models it is no longer an option.
:C
Chicken or egg...meaning that I could not order a manual for my Sub
because GM no longer offered it in their SUVs, but did offer it on their
pickups
Fashion statement crowd driven 'then' and still today
Double, triple clutch disc is common on high end (exotics and performance
'cars')
Why the chicken or egg...if more demand...the OEMs would put in double,
triple, etc clutch disc to handle the higher torque of today's TV's
Just not enough demand to warrant the R&D $$$$
