this is McRat
When it was time to leave for Texas, I had to decide what to use for the tow trip. It had been awhile since we had used the EDGE for towing, and they had come out with their new A2 GPS navigator, so I decided to run that. But! We also put had the PPE boost controller on it, so I set it at 29 PSI, and ran the EDGE on #2 (Tow).
First the performance. You cannot hit 1300 deg with this. Can't do it. It runs cooler than a stock truck. Power is plentiful for towing, even the steepest grades can be taken at 75 without effort at ~16,500lb combined. No turbo bark or misbehavior noted. I'd give this setup a 9 for towing. Mileage was 11-12.
Now the A2...
ARRGGHHH!!! It's like your first hot rod car. You love it and you hate it. First the things I like:
When you have plugged in the address of your destination, it will tell you how to get there VERBALLY. Even if you get off the freeway, it will tell you how to get back on. Very useful in Texas where the roads appear to designed at the Home for the Criminally Insane. Anyone who has driven through San Antonio or El Paso can verify this. And after they designed them, they hopped in their cars to compete in a Demolition Derby on said highways. Not having to look anywhere but ahead is a great help.
It's fairly easy to use, and has tip screens to assist you. Now, what I don't like falls into 2 catagories:
1) Bugs. The software crashes every couple of hours. It's a windows app. It does not affect your power settings, or your destination settings.
