Question:
When towing with the Edge Evolution on the 2 Towing setting, should I have overdrive off or on?

Expert Reply:
It depends on the situation and how much weight you are towing. Generally speaking, if you are towing a heavy load and are finding that your vehicle is shifting in and out of overdrive pretty frequently, then it would be a good idea to turn your overdrive off.
I usually turn off overdrive if I am towing a trailer through a hilly road, or through heavy traffic. However, those are not the only times it would be a good idea.
This # EP59YR does firm up the shift points by increasing the line pressure, but it will not lock out overdrive unless you do it manually.
