this thread has me noodling 'why' and one obvious is SMOG tune
Most of us here talk about the sweet spot for towing, be it gasser or diesel
For the EPA and their mandated goals for the OEMs says to me, that the OEMs are
going to super tune all ICE's for a specific area of those ICE's RPM vs Torque/HP
curves
Betcha it will be a small RPM range and will do anything to keep those ICE's
spinning within that range in all conditions
Fly by wire everything (throttle, tranny shifter, advance, fueling, etc, etc, etc)
will have the computer control all...if not already there now
Another betcha is that the Tow/Haul button will either be gone, or does little
as the EPA SMOG position #1 on the priority list
