Default Towing Question.

Is it ok to tow my trailer a short distance in the 87 performance tune setting? I was also wondering what the difference is between the custom tow tune, and the 87 performance tune would be.

What's a short distance?
Loaded or unloaded?
Difference between the 2?
Shift points and Bills secret recepie!
Jack posted a weight on how much before switching, sorry I can't find it.

Well, I thought I was up on metric weight units, but I'm danged if I know what "KHs" means. However, between Lars and Corey, you got your answer and looks like you had an uneventful trip!

Possibly, your trailer, when loaded, might be something like mine. About 3600# or 1.6 MT, in which case a custom tow tune would work better for you than the "canned" one, which was designed for towing weights in the 5000#+ category. You wouldn't need quite the low end torque that the canned tune gives and you'd probably get better fuel economy with a custom tow tune.
