As far as tow settings and how they're listed or named, regardless of who made the tune, it all boils down to how hard you want to push your truck and how high the EGTs are.

Typically, the tow settings boil down to transmission adjustments and other precautionary changes that help reduce EGT.

It's not really typical to find high-HP tow settings only because EGTs cause a big issue when making a lot of power. Besides, subjecting your drivetrain to 350 HP of continuous duty isn't the best for parts designed for 215.

The BEST tow tune is already installed on YOU....your right foot. Make the transmission shift better and watch the exhaust gas temperature.
