- 2005 XLT
I am going to tow a 5 x 8 enclosed trailer with an engine in it. I am guessing the total weight would be about 1500lbs. I have an 05 XLT with the 373 gearing and the factory tow package. I know it can pull it without any problems. My question is whether I should shut down O/D or is it light enough to keep it on? If it was summer, I would just shut it off. But the high gas prices and the crappy winter blend in Chicago is making me want the best MPG possible. Round trip should be about 11 hours.
