Hey all,
I haven't ordered my gryphon yet but once I get it would I drive with OD on or off when towing my bass boat using the tow tune? Currently I tow with OD off as recommended by Ford.

2006 F150 FX4 5.4L

Thanks

Only take O/D off if you are having constant downshifting to third or torque converter unlocking. If the transmission is hunting for the right gear, then take it out of O/D. If it chugs along just fine in O/D, leave it.

^^^ What he said! I tow a 3600# trailer and leave the O/D on unless I start getting a lot of shifting behavior.
