Tow/haul question
I have a 2003 F350 6.0l dually and towing a fith wheel(10 000pounds). I was wondering when towing and the tow/haul is ON, at what speed it should kick in and slow down on it's own? It's seem that I have the slow down by applying the brake and them it kicks in. Is this normal?

Mine kicks down at 80kph/50mph and then again at 60kph/40mph. I usually leave it on on the highway when I'm towing, but I usually leave it off at very low speeds, like when I'm looking for a spot in a campground. Towing a heavy load in the city, I just leave it on. Saves the brakes. Also I won't turn it on if I'm coasting in gear at 30mph or less, since sometimes it will make a hard bang when the solenoid engages. May or may not be normal, but it's not a problem for me.

I was told by the dealer salesman that the Tow/Haul kick-down reaction depended on the amount of brake pedal pressure. It might say in the owner's manual:
