TOWING the hard way or is it EASY ? ?
Ok I have a FORD F-350 V-8 with all the whisle and bells.
MY question is : when towing should I be towing in third (3) with the towing/hauling button in(operating) or D with the botton for tow/hauling pushed in (operating).
Second question Is there a big difference and if so what way

LOL now thats funny, Linda would have slapped me for saying that. Welcome to the club, use tow mode if you are in a hilly area but if you are just cruising down the freeway you can be out of tow mode. Both in drive is ok because the tranny is locking out overdrive while in tow mode.Shields wrote:You mean that Ford will tow a trailer? !!
Depends on the situation, just cruising use D. If working hard on hills or whatever, goto 3.

Hi M.C.
What year is your truck and do you have the Torque Shift transmission?
I leave mine in OD and tow/haul whenever I have the trailer hooked up. The engine and transmission are both computer controlled and will take care of themselves. Unless I'm climbing a hill or passing someone I cruise down the highway in OD all day while towing.

Now that surprises me. I had always been under the impression that you had a Dodge. I thought I read, way back sometime, that you had made a comment to a picture of Mike's rig that it looked just like yours. Of course that could have been the other Linda. I get so confused!Luizianna wrote:P.S. We drive a Ford F250 7.3 PSD
