I hear that. Seems like when I have them nobody wants them and when I don't, they are asking me for them.

It can get hot in overdrive, but thats any gearing. Its not hard to tow no. Never really checked my mileage, I tow mainly for my ranch so I use the Dmax in my sig to tow with. 75-80 is optimum in my truck almost. 55-60 is lugging in overdrive. 70-75 is the 28 I got, that was with just a little city driving in the mix too.
