Air cooling while towing (allegedly), but it must be a tiny percentage of owners that tow at all.
- kube-system 4mo agoThere were adequate engineering solutions for towing even as far back as 2008. The high-hood trend on US passenger trucks is unique to US market vehicles and is factually cosmetic.
- olyjohn 4mo agoYou mean cooling a 700lb-ft engine. Which is totally unnecessary. You don't need to do 80mph up the steepest hill in the world while towing 20,000lbs.
