Built To Pull Hard And Stay Cool Doing It

If your 2016 Silverado or Sierra HD spends its life hooked to a trailer, this Heavy Tow Tune is built for exactly that kind of work. It adds usable power where you actually need it, helping you get heavy loads moving without pushing exhaust temperatures into unsafe territory. The truck feels more confident pulling away from a stop, climbing grades, and holding gears without constant downshifting. Throttle response is refined to make towing smoother, especially when maneuvering trailers at low speeds or backing into tight spots. What’s more, factory turbo braking remains fully functional, so downhill control is just as predictable as stock. This tune is ideal for long hauls, mountain driving, and demanding jobs where consistency matters more than flashy peak numbers. If you tow thousands of miles a year, this calibration makes the truck feel calmer, stronger, and easier to live with.

Smart Calibration Designed For Serious Towing Loads

This Heavy Tow Tune is a fully customized calibration featuring more than 100 changes to the factory ECM, all focused on safe and repeatable towing performance. Power increases of up to +40 rear-wheel horsepower and +72 ft-lbs of torque are delivered without driving up exhaust gas temperatures, thanks to built-in SMART EGT control. Air to fuel ratio limits are carefully managed to reduce soot and maintain clean operation under sustained load. The tune is designed to handle trailers around 8,000 pounds and beyond while keeping the engine in its optimal power band. Revised pedal mapping improves control at low speeds, eliminating the lurching that can happen with heavy trailers. The included EFI Live AutoCal V3 allows simple OBD flashing and data logging with no wiring modifications required. When paired with recommended TCM tuning, shift quality and torque converter lockup are further refined to keep power moving smoothly to the ground.
