Sorry I can not speak to smarty Jr, no experience. I have a TST box and tow 30ft 5er all the time 2 power and 2 torque. Do not know if this helps, possibly someone who tows with smarty will chime in.

I just got my new/used racecar trailer and towed it 600 miles with my 2nd gen 24 valve Smarty on level
#3. It worked great!!! I got 15.8 mpg for the towing part of the trip. 21.5 on the non towing part on level #1.
CAT scale was 12,800. Trailer empty weighs about 6k. With streetrod and gear GCVW will be about 16,300. Perfect.
Smoke?? depends on how you drive it. If you let the revs fall to idle then mash it, between shifts , well hopefully the trooper is someplace else because it will get darker in the area. haha. Other wise if you keep the revs up between shifts it only puffs a little. Good power.
