Tow/Haul Mode Forces Your Engine Into Power 💪

Most people think Tow/Haul mode gives your truck more power… but that’s not actually what’s happening. In this clip, I break down how the Tow/Haul button changes your transmission’s shift strategy by holding gears longer and keeping engine RPM higher. This keeps the engine in a stronger part of the power band, which helps your truck pull more efficiently under load. It’s not about making more power — it’s about using the power your engine already has in a smarter way. This is just one part of a full deep dive where I test Tow/Haul mode in the real world while towing to show exactly what it’s doing to the drivetrain and why it matters for performance and transmission longevity. If you tow, this is something you need to understand.
