HUH? Never ever seen a gas motor with an engine brake? Is this something new?
Mine in tow mode was a transmision brake which adjusted the downshifting when braking.It was a Chevy 2500 hd
And so does my F150. If I set the cruise it does it automatically. Without the cruise it takes a tap of the brake to downshift.
I thought all tow modes did it. Mine is a older 08 and it does it . I usually put it in 2 in the gear selector and tow haul going downhill.
I tow a 6300 lb dry weight camper.its around 7000 to 7300 lb depending on the length of the trip. the mpg is a bad 7 in my tundra. but it only has 145k and paid off so I just put up with it.
get a 3/4 truck as you are starting out getting the TT before the truck.
