What is Gear Limit anyway?

[Nibis]

So while we are kind of asking, what does this or that do, What does tow/haul do for you?

I am also new trucks and especially my cummins diesel engine. But am i understanding this correctly? If i am towing a travel trailer, which i will be, and when going up a hill, i would want to use this feature and lock the gear in 6th (in my case i only have 6 gears)? Is there any other situation where i would want to lock it in 5th, 4th, 3rd, etc?

Any insight would be great.

Not sure your truck has this same feature. But it's for keeping the engine in the rpm range where it produces the most power for climbing hills. I'm not familiar with the CTD powertrain, and don't really know how that transmission works. If you have the capability to limit gear changes, it would certainly benefit your truck as well. The gear you select depends on how steep the hill is, and how much of a load you're towing/hauling. It's all about keeping the engine rpms in the range where it produces the most power.

Tow/Haul changes the shift points and patterns of the driveline for towing/hauling loads ..

Tow / Haul Mode

Hi, I've read the Manual a few times about this subject, but unfortunately it does not accurately describe what your driveline is doing while in this mode. Anyone know the answer to this question ? Does it lock the truck's driveline into a certain gear for optimum performance ? Is it the same...
