Not to out a dampener on it but your realize the auto is capped towing at 2.5t??
Not sure if the crd is better but I find mine fine..
Car was 3.5T and camper 1.4T.
Sure I missed the down low on hill starts but once above 1200rpm it pulls fine..
I wasn't in a hurry though (who would be in this outback country) and sat on 90kmh most the time but hills etc didn't seem to bother it.
Adelaide hills I was in 4th but they are long and steep..
If your wanting more power east coat performance can do mail order remaps on Di's.
They have done a lot of work on different parameters to suit each mod.
Of course on dyno is best to get the best but for $700 and a week down time it's imo a brilliant investment..
Worth a think about anyway if your towing a lot..
it's gunna blow bigger than moby dick mate
