Just bought my first hilux 2016 sr5 auto . I was talking to  a bloke at a rest area who told me to get the best out of the ute he recommends to leave the auto in either s4or s5 when towing my van ( gross about 2.4 t ,) he reckons the gear box / motor will run better and cooler any advice will be appreciated.

Can't comment for your exact combination (you don't mention whether you've got the petrol or diesel either), but rule of thumb is to keep the car out of top gear/overdrive when towing wherever possible to avoid it bogging down the engine too much.  Try to take any advice you hear from randoms with a grain of salt though (same goes with internet forums).

Also next time try coming up with a topic title that actually describes your problem, most people will think either a) you're introducing yourself, or b) you've got a problem with a distributor.
