Will pick it up today so I'll give a full report on the failure. It is still on CPO, thank goodness, the parts alone were $5,000!

I thought it might be the towing but it sounds like the failure is a random thing, regardless.

That's it for now!
Can I ask how often you tow (% of miles perhaps) and the approx weight of the trailer?

Glad the SA didnt hassle you about any coverage- best repairs are free repairs....
