[RC] Trucks & Trailers - melanie . o

>My question concerns whether to use the tow haul option on my truck when I
>am pulling.  It seems that when I do, I use a lot more fuel.  I have a 2002

>option all the time.  Is it really necessary to use that?
Diane:
 
Having burned up a transmission (1/2 ton Chevy) towing w/o the tow option on, I'd say YES! 
Very expensive lesson to learn when I first started towing.
