Excellent. As Gojeep said definitely don't ever use overdrive while towing or you'll find it continually searched for gears. I did that accidentally once and thought my tranny was dying.

I tow a car and trailer which is weighing in on the 2270kg limit of our vehicle. I have had no overheating issues, and find i can hold 110kmh (it prefers 120) no probs. I would however find on any loose surfaces that the front wheels would lock, as they don't have enough weight over them. If you plan on towing a lot, i would look at upgrading this area.
