I towed this about 100 miles. It was around 7000 pounds with trailer and machine. Did OK but wouldn't do it everyday. So the 2.7 gets excellent gas mileage and can tow a good size load when necessary. The truck works perfect for me!
I think you are missing the additional all - star discount you get with the 2.7, again at lest $5k more. When I bought mine, (11/19) I got about 30% off the MSRP as they were almost giving the 2.7 away.
I kind of agree with you. The factory harness connects both right and left fog lights to the left head light, then only one wires goes to the UEC. Is that wire only for a signal to turn the fog lights on using power from the headlights?
Does having it flashed from the dealer only program the new switch and dish symbol?
Seem to me that some simple mods to the factory harness would turn the fog light on with the headlights. No need for the new switch or dealer flashing.
Just a theory
