stay higher when coming off the gas? It seems like they stay at 1000 until almost at a dead stop. Is that the same for everyone? First time using the canned tow tune.

No, that is not right. Contact your dealer about it.

Great. Used it today towing the boat, seemed fine except for the revs staying around 1k until you are almost at a standstill. Seems like the trans is keeping it there. Also, is 12.27 mpg good while towing? Thought I would do better.

I've gotten an honest 12.7 mpg overall towing my 3600# trailer through Colorado and over high mountain passes on a 2000+ mile trip. Your mileage depends on your driving style, what you're pulling, the winds, speeds, and a bunch of other factors.

Spoke directly with SCT today. This is the first time they ever heard of this happening and want to do some troubleshooting when I get back to VA.
