LOL, then if its stock (no chip, no sticks, etc) I would not worry, this beast were made to tow IMHO.But I surely install some gauges ASAP to peace in mind.

Good, you shouldn't have any problems, like Mike said.
You should however make it a priority to get a EGT gauge. Its my number one gauge I stare at going up hills!

I would say keep the rpm's up. I don't think the turbo really starts working good till you get to 22 or 23000 and that will give more power and keep help keep EGT's a little lower. That's just what I have experienced, also shift down when needed and if you have an auto trans keep it out of OD on any incline.

And of course RPM up.
