Thread: Towing on certain tunes.

  1. Top Of Page | #1

    Towing on certain tunes.

    Would I be safe towing on the 90hp tune from DRD. I would be towing about 2000-2500lbs between the 3 sport quads and the aluminum trailer. It’s not a lot but I just want to make sure it’s safe.

    Hey bud! Just make sure all of your gauges are good. Keep an eye on everything and just don't hot rod it while towing. You don't want to starve it for fuel, build too much boost psi, too hot of egt temps and tranny temp getting too hot. His tunes are safe and fun to use but it's peoples right foot that get them in trouble LOL. His tunes are shift on the fly so if you see something rising just bump it back down.

    We typically tell our customers to tow with lowest HP tune they have. However, the reality is you can tow with any tune you want provided you exercise throttle management. Just remember with added power, you break stuff quicker with a load behind the truck. I personally have towed 15K pounds with a max effort tune, but I never went full throttle while towing either.

    Thank ya Mr. Ray!

    I have as well towed with max effort tunes. I watched my gauges like a hawk and made sure i never accelerated to hard or too fast. I had to adjust it when going up hills and what not as well. I was towing a big 16k fifth wheel at the time.

    Ray says tow with your lowest tune, I tow with my 30hp tune. He's the tuner and knows best as far as I'm concerned. I tow 10k 5th wheel and piggy back with 16 ft flatbed with my RZR and dirt bike on it, roughly another 3500 lbs.
