Just never ever use cruise control if the roads are slick, but of course you know that.

I do.  There's the added benefit of automatic grade braking when in tow/haul mode - it downshifts to maintain the set speed on downhills.

We use cruise. Never an issue.

Just wanted to take a poll to see how many of you routinely use the cruise control on your tow vehicle when towing the RPOD.
 
Are there any downsides (in terms of MPG, additional wear and tear, etc.)?
