[RC] right vehicle for towing-now powerchips - Faustina Duffy
Hmmm-something to wonder about. The "chip" I was looking at had 2 or 3 settings. One for "Performance", e.g. speed, one "regular" and one for Economy/Towing. Wonder if they factor that in to the settings, or which setting he was using? Anyone else know of similar situations? TIA! Lucky
