I towed my father's 10k RV from Rockport back to SA for him today. I have towed his RV for him before, but usually earlier in the year when it is still °80-°85 out. My truck hardly even breaks a sweat in those temps with the coolant being in the high °190's, the trans in the °170's, and the oil temp about °206.
Towing the same trailer on the same 170 mile route in the °105 Texas heat.....
(Note: The coolant temp was °208, but dropped by the time I took this pic)
I have seen hotter temps when towing heavier stuff. I am just shocked of how much of a difference °100+ makes especially with the trans temp.
