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.

I live in the mountains where you are headed and temps are in the 80’s.
If you are concerned with I40 East of here, I would just leave as early as possible.
I just came back from Lake Hartwell where it was in the 90’s. According to the TPMS, temp never got over 100.
We’ve gone up and down both Saluda Grade, Black Mountain and Hwy 25 many times with our horribly, undersized, puny truck pulling our just plain awful, held together with staples and spit TT at 55 with nary a problem. Usually, we have to do one of the three to go anywhere.
With your description, you should be fine. Come to our mountains, enjoy, spend lots of money.
