my dealer said to put them up while towing but intuitively that seems to make them bang more against the tensioner strings. Opinions? ------------- Old: 2014 177 HRE 2015 Tacoma V6 4x4 Double Cab New: 2016 EVO ATS 200rd 2016 F150 4x4 Sport |

| You'll get some heat reflection with them down, potentially keeping the interior cooler. Not so with them up. |

I tow with mine down, no issue, trying to make sense of this advice. ------------- Mike Carter 2015 178 " I had the right to remain silent, I just didn't have the ability." |
