Tow hall mode

[FLHTCI]

Greetings all,

I pulled the trigger on a Winnebago Itasca Sunstar 30T.

The previous owner drove it always in Tow Hall mode. Is this a wise decision??

I assume I should only use the tow mode when pulling my Jeep or my Harley trike trailer?

Thank you

I always used it when towing TT in the mountains and flatlands. Maybe save a little wear and tear on brakes and transmission but supposedly increases fuel consumption. I would think same benefits for MH. Many MH I see are towing a car on carrier, dolly or as a toad or they are pulling a cargo trailer and sometimes a small TT. Cheers to

I usually use it when I'm towing our boat/atvs/jeep, I also use it when I'm in the mountains even if I'm not towing. I also find it helpful if I'm in traffic and want a bit more stopping power to help with the people that pull in front of me.

Do you mean tow/ HAUL mode? The Ford is equipped with a tow/haul mode feature that's very helpful when towing and especially helpful on descents. When in tow/haul mode you can tap the brakes on a descent and it will act similar to an engine brake allowing you to use less brakes and over heating them. In our previous MH, I found it helpful even when not towing in stop and go traffic as it changes the shift modes and helps slow you down without a lot of braking. But the tow/haul mode is designed exactly for towing.
