When doing so, I've pulled up the truck sensor summary page on the instrument display, showing water temp, oil temp, tranny temp and oil pressure. All the readings were the same, regardless if the T/H mode was activated or not. There were times i restricted the tranny gears to 4th or 5th, but the T/H mode didn't make a difference to the temps/pressure. Naturally, when activated, i'd have the different shift pattern and the higher engine revs. But that's it - basically, the truck didn't care that the camper was behind it. Oh, and no real appreciable difference in MPG. both runs were around 11 mpg.

I AGREE!!! I have a 2017 2500 Hemi 6.4 and can say the same as above, I do use it when on grades or in town, but when on the flats/interstate at speed I turn it off, this only applies to a GAS model, most on here have a diesel and that is a different set of rules altogether..... also if you have a newer truck the tranny ain't gonna burn up unless you are climbing straight up for 100+ miles or you are towing outside your limits, the older trucks need all the help they can get so if you have that tow/haul button you best use it!!!
