I understand from the people on this forum and the owners manual that one should not tow in overdrive. Than again, you are in Texas and not climbing the Rockys.

That's the thing... I read and read in the owners manual. The towing section in the Tundra manual sucks! My Honda Odyssey has a better description and more detail for towing than does the Tundra. What gives with Toyota's new manual and service schedule layout!? It sucks!
Anyways I couldn't find anywhere in the manual where it said NOT to used overdrive IF towing. I only found one small statement that said something to the effect of, "if the transmission is downshifting often due to loading then turn overdrive OFF".
I'm new to this Tundra... Should overdrive not be used? If so why? For our Odyssey it was a no brainier because even if overdrive was on it would not shift into it unless you were going down a BIG hill with the wind to your back!
