Thread: Transmissions and towing.

You keep saying chain. I beleive the OP is talking about using a hitch receiver.

And power really has nothing to do with stress on the chain if you know how to tow with a chain.

Talking about the chain(gear ratio) inside the transmission. And how it is weak and will brake if used to tow.

The hitch part I have taken care of. And I use a trailer. But I do know how to tow with a chain if need be.

That just makes no sense to me at all. I figured 1st or 2nd gear when taking off and accelerating would be the worst. 4th is just cruising.

I can see that if I full boost it while towing. But not as much if you take it easy like you should be towing a trailer.
