[QUOTE="JP7, post: 15179, member: 223"] I have to disagree with your dealer about the usage of tow/haul, as I use it constantly for the same reason you like it - shifting is better to keep things in the right powerband. In 6 months of driving it, I have never felt an acceleration issue, but have had a few white-knuckle moments going downhill and the automatic downshift on an icy road has sent me sideways a few times. This is my first 'electronic' truck too - and I prefer manual hubs as well. Although things are still new, I wonder about a few years from now about getting stuck or worse by the 4wheel mode not engaging due to 'sensor failure' or some crap. Worse, troubleshooting the problem may be a bitch... [/QUOTE]
