Tow tune modifies the shift points even better than the 87 tune. My experience has been NO tune gets any better or worse gas mileage over the other. It's all about how much you enjoy staying on the go pedal.

Yeah, the Superchips tunes are pretty good on a 4.7L I about kicked myself when I realized how much better it was just with the 87 tune; I had waited like 3 years to get a tuner. Then I loaded the 91 performance tune; wow was that great! Ran that for a few years... Started running the towing tune on 89 octane; tow tune seems to do a little better for city driving.

Ya i'm still running the tow tune with 87 octane. It packs a HUGE punch. incredible difference with a simple tune... I could only imagine the amount of HP and Torque I am gaining...
