Towing at night in hot weather
I'm at Yuma now and many people are taking off and going back home. Several wait till after dark. I asked others about this and was told "its 20 degrees cooler". Mid 90's to 70's. OK, I understand...

Oh and this...
Lot of vehicles these days have dumb gauges that appear steady but reality is they just don't move from either one position (Ford oil pressure), or they have a huge dead spot around normal range (Ford coolant temperature). Note I'm singling out Ford, but there are others.
That's why I installed a scan gauge in my 03 Ford Class B for the first time I took it through the western mountains. Dash gauges never moved. Scan gauge told a different story. As I understand it the stock coolant temp gauge on my Ford won't move up until you are on the verge of overheating.
