The real benefit in tow mode is early torque converter lock up. Torque converter slippage, which is normal for low load operation, allows soft smooth shifts. When towing heavy, heat generation is an issue. Heavy load increases heat from this slippage. Mine locks in at 20ish in tow mode. At cruise without.
