I have recently applied the performance tune and find it makes a noticable difference in how the truck reacts. Gonna be switching to the tow tune after this tank of fuel to try it out.
I just ordered this today and am looking forward to a tow tune. I recently swapped out tires, shocks and added a sway bar to improve towing profile. Has anyone had any issues with these tunes here on the forums? So far I have only seen positive reviews.
Thank you for your sound advice. I would caution all to heed it. The Jayco weighs in at 6223 lbs with full fuel tanks. I try never to travel with more than 5 gallons of water in the fresh water tank. I would like to get it weighed the next time I load for a long trip.

I did not. I reset the trip meter once I put the trailer on just to see the milage from the dealer to the campsite. I was probably at half a tank when I pulled out from the dealer.
So I went and picked up this trailer yesterday to tow to the Jersey shore. A 2017 Jayco 287BHSW. The trailer weighs about 6500lbs in this picture and is 33 ft long. Granted New Jersey is pretty flat but the truck had the muscle to pull the trailer. The biggest issue is the wind from other...
