Do you have gauges? You will most likely be ok with those tunes, but if you get on it in the 100hp Performance tune the EGT's can skyrocket, trust me. Thankfully I have gauges, so I knew to let out of the go-pedal once I saw how hot I was getting. I actually was able to tow my 5th wheel (just under 14,000lbs) in 65hp Tow on really flat terrain, so I think you would be ok if you're only towing 6,000lbs. I would consider and 80hp Tow in addition to what you are already looking at, just to have the extra power, plus I personally like the shift patterns of the tow tunes better in the city. Once I get on the interstate, it's all 80hp daily. Good luck, either way you will be happy with what you get!
