Tow/haul, works well for towing a trailer, fairly loaded bed, and some even agree it’s a great option for regularly driving (tow/haul with gear selection (D).) since it’s a neat medium between the polo shirt tucked into your shorts shifting of drive mode vs the mullet wearing grease stained white shirt and cargo pants hot rod hard shifting of sport mode… I prefer sport mode (S)

I thought that button was to eject passengers from the bed of your truck

I like to use the trailer/tow mode for everyday driving. To me it has better shift programming.

Same for me.....and it automatically disables the stupid stop/start system.

I thought it was for an inflatable trailer to pop out the back!

Nice yet another new thing I learned today.

I don't use it daily, but I do always use it in the hills. Keeps you from having to ride the brakes on a down slope.

Yup....if you weren't aware, both tow/haul and sport mode automatically disable the stop/start cycle.

I use factory tow mode frequently for regular driving with my Livernois high octane tune. I switch back and forth a lot depending on hills and if I want AS/S or not.

That's the switch I don't use. I've had Twucktwee just over 5 years. And have never pulled a trailer. Oh for the record Twuck was my 1997 Rangers name. Twucktoo was my 1995 Ranger. So twucktwee is my current Ranger.

Tow mode is normal driving mode for me also. Shift pattern is much nicer than D.
