Some things I have noticed towing our fiver, 16000# range usually.
The truck likes regen while towing. Seems to do it every time I latch onto the trailer, I was going to ask Ford if there is a timed relay on a button where the hitch mounts. Ha Ha. The truck is a tow truck only. Not a daily drive, which might have something to do with it.
You think the EGT's would be high enough towing to regen itself, but guess not.
During the regen my boost drops a lot also, mid 20's range. Pulling without the regen on climbing hills I am in the mid high 30's prior to the downshift.
Also with my truck if I can keep it from downshifting it wont loose boost. The truck is weird sometimes, you think it should down shift on some grades and doesn't, then down shifts on grades where you think it wont. When it downshifts the boost drops some. I am tired of it to be honest. I have not talked with Ford about, but will after the first of the year.
