Do you engage tow haul mode every time you tow? Do I really need it on if I am towing my camper on just flat thruway? Looking for any tips or advice.

It is recommended. It will cost you in fuel economy but you gain in drive train life. Try it both on and off. You’ll feel the difference.Do you engage tow haul mode every time you tow? Do I really need it on if I am towing my camper on just flat thruway? Looking for any tips or advice.
I towed about 4 hours pulling my camper, 6400lbs empty. The truck towed perfectly and had zero issues. 90% of the drive was highway. I noticed the truck always in high RPM with tow haul engaged even on flat surfaces. I know I have the gear select option on my wheel, how does that work? I have another trip in a few weeks and am going to try towing with tow haul off when on the highway
I'll make the list simpler for you, anytime your towing.When to use tow haul
I'd you want to tow at 2K or less, sell the truck and buy a diesel. The Hemi torque peak is 4K rpms so your rpms will be higher while towing as it's the torque that pulls a trailer. Before you go "but horsepower" that just how fast you can put the torque down.I towed about 4 hours pulling my camper, 6400lbs empty.
