Default Turn off OD

I've seen several people comment about turning off overdrive when pulling a trailer with an automatic. How do you turn off overdrive?

Well, I guess I'm blind because I don't see an "o/d off" button by the shifter. Anyone have a pic? Anyone have a 2012 Sahara automatic without the o/d off button?

With the 2012, you pull the stick once to the left to take it out of O/D.

There is a good description in the 2012 Owner's Manual on how to manage your 5 speed automatic transmission.
