So far I love the Godzilla even with the spark plug wire issue. I came from a GM 8.1 and this is a much smoother, quieter ride.

I never use tow haul, but maybe I don’t fully understand it. I tried it once in the MH but didn’t notice a difference. I don’t pull a toad and in the 1500 miles I have driven in the upper Midwest, have not seen many large hills. My experience in using tow haul comes from an earlier F350 and now F150 when pulling a trailer. I did not like the higher shift pattern. I am always using cruise control and didn’t like higher engine rev in a lower gear on hill or windy day. Is it better for the engine and tranny to be in lower gear with higher rev for longer periods? When using CC, my truck, and I think the MH does downshift automatically when coming down hills. What will I gain with tow haul?
