This feature is driving me crazy. When going downhill with a big load I'll need to brake. As soon as I do, the truck will downshift. OK, understand that, but the truck will continue to gain speed so I'll have to brake again and so the truck will immediately downshift again, and I'll gain speed again. If Tow Haul had its way, it would downshift all the way into 1st gear. I just can't seem to find the road speed I want to maintain while using the brake, without Tow Haul forcing me down into a lower gear. I suspect I'm either clueless, or Tow Haul is absolutely worthless.
I've resorted to going down steep hills in Manual but I suspect in the Manual mode I'm not getting the advantage of the turbo breaking that I believe is only engaged in the Tow Haul mode.
Any insight and/or advice would be appreciated.
