Default Tuning Tow/Haul for Performance Mode?

Can you tune tow/haul separte from the regular mode. I know it shfits different from the factory, but can you make changes to the tow/haul tables without significantly adjusting the regular mode.

Thinking along the lines of normal shifting for everyday driving and agressive shifting for when you want it.

Maybe someone else will chime in.

I would be doing it with either a mail order tune, or HPtuners etc.

Wondering if its an option at this point.

IIRC blackbear can do this, not sure how he does it though, or what settings are changed.

This can be tuned easily with HPT or EFIlive. Wheatley is the man.

I set my tow haul for no upshift to 2nd until like 32 mph, so I can go from a 30 roll and not have to manually hold in 1st.
