| Towing with edge chip
Well next week I'm going on vacation towing a 20 foot car hauler with 6 ATV's on it i'm figuring everything will weight in at about 4000lb so pretty light.
I want max mileage out of the truck and the edge has a towing stage and a mileage stage. which one will i get better mileage with while towing?

| I'd say 2. If it's the towing level then tow in 2. I guess it just depends on your truck and what it wants too. It might do better in 1 but I guess just try and see and go from there. I guess if you don't lead foot it, you'd be ok in 2.

| THe one thing about the juice is that u can set the egt limits to 1250 or so and set it defuel on shifts and heck u could tow on almost any level and not worry because it will take care of not hurting things!!! If i were you i would run level 3 and set the limits to defuel on 4-5 shifts and set egt limit to 1200 deg. and u should be good to go!
