Overdrive has been a point of transmission failures with some vehicles. I used to use a Ford truck as a tow vehicle that would shift out of overdrive frequently at highway speed, a sign to me that overdrive towing was a bad idea.
My owner's manual doesn't say anything about having to tow with overdrive turned off. Geoffrey Card, who towed his TM to Alaska and back with a Highlander, told me that he leaves the overdrive setting on except when the engine is under heavier loads (like uphill grades).
