Listers:

I went through the shifting dilema when I started towing.  After consulting 
my owner's manual and some supposedly knowledgeable on the tranny, it said 
that towing in DRIVE (overdrive on my Tahoe) was OK.  So, I typically tow in 
DRIVE on level ground, but do downshift to 3 when going up hill.  I have not 
been good about getting off the throttle when shifting...in fact I've often 
shifted with the cruise control still engaged...guess I shouldn't do this??

What would be great is an F1, paddle style shifter on our tow trucks for us 
racers!!
