    Can anyone tell me what ECO mode does in the On mode vs Off mode and should I tow in ECO mode? Thanks any help would be greatly appreciated!

    There is no eco mode, it’s just a light in the cluster the comes on when you’re light and gentle on the throttle. You can choose to turn the light on or off, it has no actual effect on the vehicle.

    That's what I kind of figured but wasn't really sure. Thanks!

    Yes it just means you may get better mileage if you don’t stomp on the gas peddle :)
