Default Switching tow/haul mode

I know this may seem like an odd request but I tow a trailer about 99% of the time and I constantly forget to turn on the tow/haul mode. So what I was wondering, is there anyway to reverse the feature so that the tow/haul is on all the time and I use the tow/haul switch to shut it off?

You just need to modify your routine. Get in the truck. Fasten your seat belt. Crank the engine. Click on tow/haul mode. Put it in gear. Go.

I'm surprised ford doesn't have tow/haul default when a trailer is hooked up. or at least a option when setting up the trailer on the dash screen.

Smokey has the right idea

And with the 2015 PowerStroke, I have to also push the exhaust brake button. So much to do, so little time.

When you figure that out let us know perhaps we can apply it to the auto start on the 2.7.
