RochyMtnRay: Great post! Thanks for added detail. I typed a long post & wasn't logged in - how is that for a senior moment? I signed up on TS.com last summer but failed to join for some reason. (Never retire, you have no time of anything!) I pulled a 6500# pecan sprayer from N AL last summer & TC would unlock on hills @ 70. I was surprised that I could tow at that speed but backed off when engine loading was apparent. When pulling TM from Atlanta the traffic was pretty heavy with many truckers so I'd ease up to 75 or so down hill & back off to 70 at hill tops to stay in rt lane most of the time. I did pass one or two loaded trucks!! The TM tows so great that I didn't know it was back there sometimes. Anyway I'll cool it on long trip to Canada & hopefully Alaska.
