Towing Question

That's freewheeling in second gear. Some weird thing that t/h does. Not sure how it works or why it does it.

No, it just does not provide much benefit, hard shifts, holds gears longer, etc. When mine is pulling a 5K trailer and in tow/haul, the transmission feels almost normal in operation. When empty and in tow/haul, the shifts are longer and more firm.

I like to run in tow/haul mode on occasion even with nothing hooked up to the truck. I like being able to run a little higher engine rpm when it’s cold outside to get things warmed up (I’ve been running 10w-30 engine oil).
It takes a light foot on the throttle to keep things smooth, but that’s not an issue for what I perceive as a benefit.

We are different people

I keep my revs and load down until stuff warms up. Usually use my oil Pressure as a guide until it's at normal hot pressures
