Couple of questions about towing with an 07 Toyota Tundra.

The Vehicle...5.7 L V8 4x4 rated for towing up to 10,000 some lbs
This vehicle has a 6 speed transmission and a "tow/haul" button"
I was told this vehicle has a trans oil cooler by the salesman, but he dindn't seem too convincing.

The Boat...Alumacraft 185 w/ a 150...approx. boat motor trailer weight is 3500 lbs.

I used pull this boat with a V6 4.3L blazer and always pulled in 3...not overdrive and never had any problems...except poor gas mileage.

My question...
What would be the best way to pull this boat?
Leave it in O/D?
Put it in 5 or 6?
Leave in O/D and press the "tow haul button" ? (This is what the salesman recommended)

Any feedback/suggestions from Tundra owners or just guys "in the know" would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.
