I'm driving a 2015 Ram Crew Cab 2500 w/ 6.4 and 4.10 gears 4x4. I am towing a 35' travel trailer weighing about 9500lbs. I am wondering if everyone tows with there tranny in drive and tow haul mode on. I towed my travel trailer last weekend in manual shift mode staying in 5th gear with tow haul mode on the interstate, and averaged 9mpg. This weekend I towed with the tranny in drive with tow haul on and get 10mpg. The tranny shifted perfectly, and did not hunt for gears. Tranny temp stayed at 168. It seemed to me to tow much better just leaving it in drive. My last tow rig was a 2007 Tundra w/ 4.7. The Tundra had no business at all towing this camper. The weight and tongue weight was way too much.
