Exhaust gas temperature and towing
My 2004 Ram has 325 horse and 600 ft-lb of torque. I find myself bumping 1,300 degrees of EGT before I max my power capability. I like to keep it below 1,300 so I slow down as I have already geared ...

I was always told to keep it below 1200 degrees so things didn't start melting. I am towing and have no problem staying below the 1200 mark. I did have a chip installed and also a larger exhaust as well as a after market air filter. I'm curious what your axle ratio is. When I tow in the warmer weather, I leave early in the morning to avoid the high afternoon temps.
