What does tow haul do on Ram 2500 CTD

What does tow haul do when towing. I was told by some that it locks 5th gear. Is this true ?

  • Basically the TOW HAUL works the tranny so it will not keep jumping D to OD . I have a Silverado and do believe it is the same way, and is the best way to run.

    Having run over 100k towing and a heck of a lot of mountains, I use the Tow Haul a lot, even in city driving, stop lights, it helps the engine up to speed. As soon as we start getting to hills the button goes on. Some hills I run 3500 rpm at 35mph so don't try to kill the engine it was built with the tranny in mind and like wise .


    And I have found the fuel millage isn't that much different diff either.
    Hope this helps, and do use it as there are hills that will get ya.
    Cheers
