90% of the time I haul OUT of Tow/Haul and IN Overdrive. Only time I use TH is going up or down the steeper grades or when approaching an exit or a rest area off ramp. I take it out of OD whenever I am on an upgrade where I feel the tranny may have to shift down, down steeper grades and again when approaching a an exit ramp or rest area ramp. I like to let the tranny do the work of slowing me down and save the brakes whenever I am pulling off the travel lanes for an exit or rest stop.

You know you are retired when you wake up in the morning with
nothing to do and go to bed at night with it only half done.

BUT, Keep in mind, doing nothing can be a very
tiresome job because you can't stop to rest
