My Land Rover tows with OD on, but there's a "sport" button I'm supposed to push that does just like Ferm said... moves the shift points a little higher and keeps it locked a little longer. Never had a problem with it yet. (crosses fingers). You can tell it's in sport mode though just listening to the engine.. it winds out longer before the tranny shifts.
My previous tow vehicle (1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport with a 4.0L engine) says to tow in 3rd gear.. but I always towed in OD with zero problems except for when I was in really hilly areas.. and several of those tows were to Fla and back hauling my V20. up and down Interstate 95. That Jeep has 177,000 miles on it now and needs a new head gasket, but other than that it's in great shape.
