Hi,

I'm new here and plan on buying the Canadian Sedona with the Steptronic 5 speed auto tranny. And will want to tow a 2200 lbs (1000 kg empty) popup.
Will the tranny lock the torque converter in Steptronic mode? To keep the thanny temp down, you want the converter locked as much as possible! I would think towing would be a real useful application for using the manual-shift mode?!

Thanks, Chris.
