Towing on a hot day
Does the outside temperature matter that much when towing? Leaving on Wednesday for the mountains and it's supposed to be 97 and humid.

The main thing I do when towing hot is to let the engine idle a bit before shutoff if it is running on the warm side. This dumps some of the heat out of the system so it doesn't boil the coolant or overheat the transmission fluid. Even 5 minutes helps.
