No, those are two separate features. You can activate tow/haul mode anytime, whether towing or not, just like any of the modes. It's a bit like sport mode with more aggressive engine braking. Tranny shifts sequentially (no skipped gears) and rather firm. Shift points are higher and each gear is held longer.
Anyone tow a car with their gen 2 using a U-haul trailer?

Yes, Tow/haul is a really nice middle ground between Normal and Sport. It's probably what Normal would be without the EPA.
If the engine braking wasn't so aggressive, I'd probably run it all the time.
To be honest, I'm pretty lazy. I mostly just jump in and drive like a normal person. Normal mode works fine for that.
Same. 99% of my driving is in normal mode. If they would just let me disable gear-skipping, it would make such a difference (to me).
