Re: Normal towing temperature?

if he throws a quad on the front, he's gonna sag even more.
if you want to be the bomb when towing, an equalizer hitch & a set of airbags.
we have bowed eq bars at work from keeping 5-6 ton dump trailers level. use airbags to control your height. bags are good for off center loads, & you can really make your truck handle decently (for leaf springs). even empty i leave 10-15 psi in the bags, takes most of the weight off the springs & lets them work nicer i find. or load all your coolers at the back of the trailer, that should bring your tongue up
i have a 190 t-stat in my crew, with hills we got, it's needed, but a trans cooler will help you out a lot too
and as tucson says, dont mount any coolers to your rad, fab up brackets or something
