Likely because the Aisin trans (in both trucks) is already tuned from the factory to shift more like a heavy duty truck transmission resulting in less difference between normal mode and tow haul.
Aisins rev higher between shifts and keep the converter locked more than some other transmissions in "normal" mode.
And other than more aggressive downshifting and delayed shifting into the upper gear or 2, most transmissions will upshift about the same with respect to the load and % throttle when taking off from a stop with a load.
