Tow/Haul w/p towing

I've been thinking about this for a long time. Occasionally I drive with my tow/haul on even though I'm not pulling or carrying anything with me. Is this bad? I don't really see the harm, but was just curious if its bad or it doesnt affect anything.

im no expert...but i dont think that will be a problem...because im pretty sure all the tow/haul does is make the truck stay in gear longer...

It changes the computers shift pionts (if your accelerating like grandma) and makes it shift faster. I don't know why you would be driving with it on without a load unless your racing.

It won't hurt anything but it does change the shift points. The only downside to this I can figure is that you will lower your mpg.

It Has All Pretty Much Been Said But Also You Wont Kick In To Overdrive.

If your going fast enough and it's not a huge load it will.

Correct. The tow haul shift points are RPM controlled. It will go into OD at a certain point.
