Range mode puts your vehicle back 20 years in towing performance.
Well, that may be kinda true, but there are circumstances where t/h just wont get it done. For example, t/h can't see that 20 mph corner coming up that you need to slow way down for. T/h also won't shift down into 1st gear, and up in the mountains on 2-lane roads, there are plenty of grades that require shifting clear down to 1st in order to get the needed engine braking.
The grade braking in my vehicles has worked very well, but there are just some scenarios where I've needed to override it and control the shifting myself.
