Default to Tow Haul mode

Okay guys is there a way to default to Tow Haul mode. I like the way it shifts when in Tow Haul but I hate to have to think about it every time I start up.

I am sure it could be done with the right wiring...
maybe a relay set up to the ignition switch... soon as you turn the key on it powers the relay and puts it in tow/haul...
sounds easy right

Yes. I like it much better than T/H though - it maintains appropriate gears much better, and stays in lockup as long as possible. T/H feels different - harder, and less drivable.

I was hoping some one had a secret key-door-horn (or what ever was needed to reset it yourself) sequence that told the computer to default to Tow haul. Any idea if the dealer can reset the controls to default to tow haul?
