thanks in advance for any help.
Tow/haul mode just changes shift points.
It also down shifts when you step on the brakes.
It has no effect on trailer brakes.

You must have an IBC (Integrated Brake Controller) if you have the tow package.
If you are hauling heavy, you may want an after market controller.
Its easy to test, all you do is operate it while going slowly.
No need to use you brakes, it should bring you to a stop.
