I am sure if I bothered to read the manual but what exactly is tow mode? 4x2 without the bigtow, have a button to push.

Actually it raises the shift points for the gear changes while towing. Allowing you to stay in a lower gear longer. For example, if your normal shift point is 3500 RPM, with tow mode on your gear shift will occur at 5500 RPM. This reduces the amount of times your transmission will shift, especially going uphill, and reducing wear and tear on tranny.

Nissan gave you the button because 8 out of 10 truck owners havee towing hitches on their truck be it factory installed or aftermarket. I believe GMC does the same thing.

Actually it's the exact opposite. It holds the gear longer before it shifts.

:D
Yeah, I was like, "Whaaaaa??" If ur towing something you want to shift at higher RPM's for more HP and torque.
