first time towing, so i took a picture lol. Ive got a question tho, it was about a 150 mile trip(one way) at 70mph(speed limit) no ac on or anything. and everytime i came to a stop, their was a pretty strong burning smell! like something was hot. maybe the torque converter or something? the engine temp was fine, and so was the trans temp(195F) i guess thats average. i smelled the same smell one day when playing around with the manual shift. i just thought i was running it too hard.
but this is a pretty light load, and im soon wanting to get my own boat. But i dont wana break down somewhere lol. we left the trailer at the lake, the drive home was fine. any ideas what was getting hot?

I had the same smell when towing with mine - brand new... probably parts and paint wearing.
Its all good now.
Just turned 24,000 miles.
