[wait4me]

The truck is faster bone stock in regular mode (tow/haul off)

 

I can understand driving in 3 around town.

thats what i thought, looking thru all the factory tables, tow haul is for just that, towing and hauling, its alot different than our sports cars thats for sure.. on them, the tow haul mode can be made into a performance mode and for my truck i made the tow haul mode into a performance mode with higher linepressure and more aggressive shifting mph ect.. and when the car is in normal mode it is more tow oreanted.... mine doesnt have to be in drive , it is set up nice now no matter what it is in lol, jes

if you dont mind me asking, where did you find this info out. guess ill be switching back to normal mode, when iam up for a race. the truck seemed so much quicker sotp with tow mode on. thanks for any info.

Nope, I tried runs against the G-Tech to verify. But as Wait4me said, it's all in the programing. It forces the truck to shift sooner, which kills your over all time.

I like the shift points in tow/haul mode.

ok, so the truck IS actually faster with tow haul mode on then(aka little trailor symbol to right of speedometer), like i originally thought, and have been doing. i was getting confused there for a bit.

[haul@ss]

OK now im confused...

which "it" is this?? lol sorry... its 2:10 am over here...

 

btw, this whole turning the tow/haul mode into performance mode, is this only done by programming?

[m396 #00-011]

Again, the truck is slower in the 1/4 mile with Tow/Haul mode turned on. The truck is forced by programming to shift sooner in tow/haul mode than in the regular mode. This decreases your overall time. It makes no sense to drive around in tow/haul mode, unless you reprogrammed the PCM to make it a performance mode, such as I did.

 

Stock programming, tow/haul mode is slower. It's a fact that has been proven. ;)

but tow/haul mode also causes the vehicle to downshift at higher RPM's and to shift later when driving normally... plus it firms the shift a bit.

Oh this topic brings back some good college memories ... I was riding around with my little brothers friend in his (daddy's money) brand new hot off the showroom F150 ... there is a hot rod / mechanic college in the same town and one of them pulled up besides this kid and starts revving ... all of a sudden he leans forward and turns on the tow/haul button and says - lets run buddy - holy shit I still haven't stopped laughing about that one ... priceless. Fords and Ricers holy schmidt.

But it's slower overall, so what's the point? It's harder on the tranny and drivetrain.
