OD off prevents the transmission from shifting to the highest gear, which is overdrive. Tow/Haul changes the shift schedule so that it shifts to a higher gear at a higher RPM than in the normal mode. This helps move the heavier load. Also, the Tow/Haul will automatically downshift to help with engine braking.
Q. Is it OK to pull a trailer in overdrive?
If the manual allows towing in overdrive, you could be conservative and safe by installing a transmission temperature gauge and keeping a close eye on it. It may also lock up the torque converter (reducing heat buildup), and may even lock out overdrive. Again, check your owner’s manual to be safe.
