Descending down a mountain

1st timer hauling North Carolina mountains. Little nervous about the descent on the way back to flat land. I will be towing my parents TT which is 7500lbs total weight. Give me any tips or pointers. Tow/haul button on, gear down? Bend over & kiss my a$$ goodbye or what? Thanks

First slow down to the speed you want to maintain on the down grade, well before you start your descent.

Tow haul button on or down shift manually your choice. You don't say what vehicle you are towing with, but the same applies use your engines transmission and engine to provide much of the braking. If you need to use your brakes for more than a couple of seconds to scrub off speed, you should drop down another gear.
