Towing Tune Question

[Jackpine]

I suspect you could tow a 2000#, low profile boat with just about any old tune.

According to Bill, the canned tow tune was really not designed for me either. I pull a 3600#, low-profile, HI-Lo travel trailer and Bill wrote a custom tune specifically for that job. I don't really know what the "cutoff" would be in terms of towing weight between a tow tune and a performance tune, but I imagine it would be fairly close to what you tow.

I'm trying to figure out where the damage would come from using a performance tune for towing. Possibly, the transmission would be constantly shifting or the torque converter would be constantly going in and out of lock? I don't really think you damage an engine by "lugging" it now and then.

Bill, of course is the expert here - not me.
