i just got my tuner instaled and i notice a huge difference. but i am just wondering why on all tuners the towing tune is the lowest amount of power, this seems strange, because you need all the power possible to be towing your best

you need all the SAFE power while towing . It is expensive to tow your truck and your trailer.

if you got gauges to monitor everything and you can manage your egt's you can tow in a higher hp setting. i tow in a higher hp setting sometimes, but i also have a handshaker.
