    I think u guys did a good job collectively of analyzing the topic but alot of the 'basics' were overlooked. I agree (to a certain extent) that there is more loading on the connecting rod when towing. The fact that the weight of the vehicle tends to resist the engine rotation thru the drivetrain...
