I have decided on an MPT tune for my Raptor but need help choosing which one. I tow a 5000 lb race car trailer with my Raptor about 10-12 times per year. MPT says absolutely NO towing with the PR-X tune due to the way it programs the transmission. For towing they recommend their Performance Tow tune.

The problem is they have no dyno data for the Performance Tow tune, they just say it's about 25 less HP than the PR-X and the transmission shift points are less aggressive.

They said I have 2 choices -
1.) Run the PR-X tune then whenever I am towing reprogram the ECU back to stock for towing.
2.) Run the Performance Tow tune.

I'd appreciate any input to help me decide. Anyone here running the Performance Tow tune? Better yet has anyone run both of them?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

When you order the tuner it includes 3 tunes.

I opted for the 93 PRX, 91 PRX, and 91 Perf. Tow tunes with mine. So far, I have only run the 93 PRX but I will be changing to one of the 91 tunes in a month or two as I will be driving out west (and they don’t have 93 in some of the states that I’ll be driving through).

My opinion is to get the PRX and Perf. Tow tunes so that you can run the PRX when not towing and switch over to the Tow tune for the times that you are. It takes 5 minutes or so to change tunes.
