As I understand,the 2014 has a lower torque curve and runs a lower RPM.and a 6 speed transmition.I tow a aspen camper.Will I find that I will need to run in 5th gear to get the job done.I have found this to be the case on 2 wheel motorcycles.The lower RPM equalled to higher gear ratio and was not getting the power to the ground and towing suffered big time.Anyone towing with the 2014 ? How does towing compare to the 2 cylinder Spyders of the past?

You should be able to cruise in 6th but for hills, high wind and passing you will need to downshift

You should be fine towing in top gear on flat open roads. As stated and as you know you will have to shift down when you feel the need...:thumbup:
