Tow/Haul Mode and manual shifting

[Eric91Z]

Ok, newbie here. Looking for input on those of you using a 1/2 ton truck to tow. Gas engine with tow/haul mode and manual shift option. When you are hooked up and towing your travel trailer, what are you going for tow/haul mode and shifting?

I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500. Every time we are hooked up, I have tow/haul hooked up, but have left shifting up to the ECM. Should I be playing with the shifting myself as well or just let the computer handle it.

What are you guys doing?

No reason for manually shifting, unless for some reason you want to force the transmission to stay in a specific gear and using the engine to brake for you, like traveling down-hill on a very long grade. Otherwise, let the truck do the shifting for you. That's what it's designed to do.
