Towing across canada with smarty

should i use the smarty or just go stock, or is there an actual towing catcher/download? trailer will be 7000 lbs aprox. I know tow haul is just turning the over drive off so whats your opinion people
thanks in advance

Yeah I was figuring sw2 just dont want to burn something up sw 3 is great for fun and great power but think it may be a little hard on my stock tranny and injectors when using sw2 should I see better mileage hauling than stock?? im new to this smarty use Love it but a lil paranoid

Stick with the odd sw levels for the additional timing. Little more power, better economy and lower EGTs.
