I tow about 7k, no intercooler. Heres what I do; if I can see the hill coming I get it up to about 70 before the hill. Then without adding more throttle let the hill slow it down to about 50 then I shift out of overdrive and get the RPMs up there and keep it at 50. If the EGTs climb up towards 1250 I shift it down to 2nd and keep up the speed. Keep those RPms up and you will keep the EGT down.

Plain and simple ditch the f550 turbo, its worse than our stocker. upgrade to a ballbearing or h2e. Also a chip tuned to your injectors would help alot too, edge is known for high egts. Who's injectors and cam?

I had the same issues with my edge evolution. I could touch 1300 deg pre turbo pulling a empty stock trailer when climbing hills. I was going to install an intercooler to help these temps but for half the price I got a DP tuning chip with a tow tune, all I have to say is I look forward to hills now. I can get to 1200 degrees, only if I try, towing a loaded trailer.
