I'd put this in the towing forum, but I want to focus on 2018+ and 10 speed transmission. I have a 2020 XLT with max towing package. My current trailer is 3700lb. unloaded. New trailer ordered is 5700lb unloaded. The older trailer pulls very easily. I typically just switch to the tow feature and leave it at that. I get between about mpg and 13mgp depending on hills, etc. I do like it it automatically gears down for hills.
The new RV will be a fair bit heavier. I don't anticipate a problem with towing power. My question is about the tow mode. Does everyone just leave it in tow mode always for towing? Or does anyone cheat to improve mileage and switch to normal and 4wd when on long, relatively flat highways.
I doubt I'd try that, but I'm curious what other people have found.
