TTS is well proven for doing just what you've asked for, more low end torque multiplication than all the others.

My TTS convertor in Blue has worked very well towing. How it compares to Suncoast, I do not know.

I just wanted to say that whoever posts on this thread make sure you play nice and keep your comments and opinions clean and respectful. I don't think we want another thread of fighting and sacrasm on this topic... Now back to your regualrly scheduled posts...

I have done quite a bit of towing with the TTS and really like it. No experience with any others though (besides stock).

Just returned from a 2800 mile trip pulling my 7k TT. No problems from the TTS triple. I'm happy with mine. No experience with other...

What you choose for a TQ converter will depend on your needs. Power level, and vehicle weight play a lot into converter selection. Having a heavy empty weight, and high power level, the converter that I like best so far is from Suncoast. It suits my truck well but others may find it a bit tight, especially when running stock programming. It works the engine down low and really gets it to the ground rather than letting the engine rev freely. Joe has been working with lowering the TQ to stall ratio which is said yo increase the efficiency (fluid coupling) of the converter thereby getting more power to the ground. It may be a bit much for those running a big turbo or those running down below 300 RWHP but as I understand, Joe has different stator designs available for those applications also. In a nutshell, this is the closest thing that I have found to the feeling you get when the TCC locks up and the truck takes off...

Any of the 4 is a huge step up over stock.

Suncoast Triple and stage 4 in my dually (forsale) until my 06 arrives, then I'm not sure, Probably the same thing again when they are made for the 6 spd. I love the hookup when towing, empty on wet pavement is also interesting ):h

I towed more than 70,000 miles with a Suncoast Triple disk. In my opinion, 99.9% of my towing mileage is made with the TC locked so it doesn't matter who make it as long as it handles your power level.

Thank the Dmax gods that TTS was unwilling to accept the staus quo with regard to lazy triple disc converters that the transmission companies were putting out on the market.

TTS started the trend towards more efficient fluid coupling on the triple disc design for our Dmaxes. The other companies have just been forced by customer demand and TTS's innovations, to adapt.

I picked up an ATS Triple Lock. It is supposed to be one of the best also. Go with a triple disc design from ATS, Suncoast, or TTS and you won't be unhappy. I will add more to how it works when it is installed.
