Summing up, the terrain is the most important issue, not just the surface, but the inclines too, if you live in a mountainous area, then really a gear change is a must. If it's reasonably flat, then if you are having problems with continuous gear changing D-OD and back, as Kat says just stick her in D when you are towing!

Good luck and enjoy your 150 I do, won't fit in our bedroom, otherwise the missus would be on the couch!!

Exactly! Living here in CO, you see the majority of people with larger than stock tires or who tow quite a bit swapping their gears out.
