Towing Report

Just towed our 15k fiver from Green River Utah to Vernal Utah via US 191. Truck towed great! 191 just out of Price, UT, goes up a significant grade to around 9,000 feet. Grade is around 7-8%. EGTs spikes at around 1300, tranny temp spiked at 168, and coolant temp spiked at 221. Used a combination of third and fourth gears to maintain 35-40 mph. Couldn’t go any faster than that due to the switchbacks, anyway. Stock power box tunes with a RaceMe Ultra.

Color me happy!

We went from ABQ up US 550 into Bloomfield, then picked up 491 into Cortez, CO, then picked up 191 at Monticello up through Moab. You would probably pick up US 6 over to I-15 and wouldn’t have to do Douglas Pass. We were headed to Vernal.
