I have a 4lb pulley with a 4 way PSP chip. When I tow my 21'-4" Baja Hammer I use the tow setting and have no problems. My boat wighs around 4400 w/gear and gas. The L pulls like a charm but don't look at you gas mileage!

01-Bolt,

Thanks for the reply!! I was expecting a bigger turn out on my thread..........then I remembered How silly of me.......Me & you are the only ones that didn't throw out our heavy hitches. Everyone knows that Lightnings weren't made to tow anything. LOL

Here's 13,630lbs. total weight :

I pulled a 6 X 12 trailer with tools and furiture (sorry, don't know the weight) from Florida to Jersey. Gas mileage It took 4 tanks to get to Florida and 7 tanks to get back to Jersey

See, some of us race and tow

I was towing one of my cars on a trailer (app. 5000 lbs total) with a 6# lower and street setting on the chip with 91 octane. I accelerated pretty good a couple of times with no issues. These trucks tow pretty well in my opinion.
