Is there any specific reason why Ford does not open the grill and intercourse active grill shutters fully when you select tow hall mode? I would think you would want as much air and cooling as possible. I would rather have maximum cooling (I.e. airflow) when towing in advance of the coolant temp getting so high, as opposed to it being reactionary (CPU monitors and sees temps way high before they fully open, which is too late in my view). is there a way that we can control when the shutters open?

I love my PB, but I hate the high coolant temps when I am towing 7K. From my perspective, 7K should hardly affect this truck at all.

I know when they first came up with the ecoboost they were having problems with them making condensation in the intercooler. I would belive ford keeps it closed more often to prevent that from happening.
