Using "Overdrive" when hauling TC?
We're about to embark on our maiden voyage and I'm wondering about the Overdrive on my truck. It's a 2001 Ford F150 HD 7700 model, the OD button is pretty much just always engaged, but I've read that ...

I too would like a bit of clarification. It's been my understanding that with the OD engaged, or disengaged it makes no difference until you reach a pre-determined speed. When that speed is reached & the OD is engaged, it functions in such a way to enhance fuel economy, but decreases engine RPM & power. So, if your pulling weight & are on flat ground & at highway speed, all is good. If on an incline, up or down, the OD should be disengaged. ??????
Ok, I get the "let the computer do its job" but manufacturers do indicate to disengage when in incline areas towing ???
