I'll add my 2 cents as well. Get the Phoenix. I agree with Cody that the FU chip will be more than what u need. I would look at getting a Deceleration tune for engine braking on long decents etc. then go with a high idle... 1100rpm is standard but Bill can easily set it at anything you want. Mine is at 1200 RPM because my 200A alternator puts out max amperage at 1200 rpm...

here is the cut and paste from another thread that has the suggested tow ratings from Bill
DJ,

It breaks down like this:

* 25hp - Over 20,000 GCWR (all terrain)
* 40hp - 16,000 to 20,000 GCWR (all terrain)
* 65hp - 12,000 to 16,000 GCWR (all terrain), 16,000 to 20,000 GCWR (flat terrain)
* 80hp - 8,000 to 12,000 GCWR (all terrain), 12,000 to 16,000 GCWR (flat terrain)
* 100hp - 8,000 to 12,000 GCWR (flat terrain)
* 120hp - Not Recommended
* 140hp - Not Recommended


Keep in mind that files designated as "Tow" are designed specifically for the needs of towing (shift strategies, pressures, lockup, fuel curves, injection timing) while "Performance" programs are handled quite a bit differently.

Hope that helps.

So pick the ones that fit your towing needs and add a high idle and a decel tune. Try and put the decel tune between the 2 tow tunes you will use most. The Fuel Sipper is basically the 80 (75)HP tow tune with lowered shift points. I am still running the Fuel Sipper with a slightly modified shift schedule though I am tempted to go back to the 80HP tow instead... Not sure I have really seen significant gains in MPG over the 100hp or the 80 I was running before... I just changed out to a better tire setup so want to run it on the new tires a while before I decide...... (need to chat with Cody about this in another thread)

As for gauges I am with you on the Pillar thing. I find them to obstruct my cornering view and be too"in you face" when driving at night so I went with the rear view mirror area overhead pod

the install is a bit more involved than the pillar mount but I like the result... also blocks the sun coming thought that space above the rear view mirror
