Tom, excellent point on the low range. I have always opted for the manual hubs* for just that reason. Using low range in two wheel drive allows very accurate maneuvering with the trailer attached. It also allows you to ascend steep hills (at much reduced speeds of course) without overheating the automatic tranny.

* using low range with auto-hubs in four wheel drive will also work but sometimes the gears will bind if you're on pavement or another hard surface. This can cause the front end to 'hop' occasionally but is manageable.
