I use the tow mode when towing in city traffic or bumper to bumper traffic on the freeways during rush hour. Once the I reach my cruising speed of 65 - 68mph I turn the tow mode off. If the transmission starts the game of searching for the right gear or hunting to find the gear I turn it back on. I also tow with the cruise on as well. You are correct, the long level stretches of highways are the perfect place to run in fifth gear. Just listen to your engine and it will tell you if you need to have it on or off. Also keep an eye on the trans temp.
