Small update post flash-tune; took the Pajero towing the ski boat from Queanbeyan to Blowering Dam (near Tumut) for the weekend, 5 up & loaded to the gills with camping gear, ski gear and food. This was including having the roof racks on which typically adds 1L/100km. I'd estimate about 5 tonnes all up between the boat and car. It's definitely a different vehicle to tow with and it just powers up hills in 4th with the torque converter seeming to stay locked a lot longer than before. Since I know some of you will be interested it showed an average of 15.5L/100km charging up the mountains and 13.7 cruising along the Hume. I dont know if that's good or bad in towing comparisons but I don't really care - it no longer feels like you are continually wringing its neck towing a load.
