Hi all
Does anyone use the Low Gear ratio when towing with a 4 X 4??
I tow a pageant Bordeaux with a Disco 2 TD5 Auto and never felt the urge until this weekend. On the way to a new CC club (The Firs) in Belper Debyshire and upon leaving Stoke on Trent I came across Froghall Bank.
Slowing at the bottom I engaged Low gear and up she went with no trouble but revs high as expected. When I reached the top I re engaged high gear and went on my way - only to wonder if I really needed to do it as i've no doubt the old girl would have performed as well if i'd left her in high?
Does any one else bother or do we generally leave them in 'D'. point em in the right direction and press the accellorator.

PS - The firs is very nice and very new although some of the pitches are tiny and access to the dog walk is poor!
