Can anyone explain to me the deal with Overdrive? I assume it's for more power while towing and/or better traction? I've noticed my Expedition starts up with the O/D light off, but when I hit the button the O/D off button is lit up. What does this mean when it's lit up.. is the O/D off or on? This is quite confusing to me as I have no real knowledge of what this is for.. anyone want to help me out?

Which do you use when just driving? Which do you use when towing?

Overdrive is for towing, if your not towing make sure that light is off, if not your gonna go through alot of gas. If you notice when the light is on your rpms are higher.
