I towed for the first time with my 2016 EL. It was only a trailer with a Polaris Ranger onboard. I'm guessing about 2500 pounds. I watched the tranny temp the whole time. The ambient temp was 100+ the whole way. The tranny went from 197 to 225 depending on whether I was going uphill or downhill. I was in 5th and 6th gear most of the time with an occasional 4th. My mpg was about 10. Does this all sound reasonable? I was not impressed. I have been looking at trailers in the 5000 pound range, but I am worried about towing it now. I started in tow haul mode, but did not like how it was shifting, so I took it out of tow haul. What is considered too hot on the tranny?
