Having towed to and from Devon without a problem with my auto 163, i have come to a conclusion.
Using the manual side of the auto box and using 5th instead of 6th gear is the way forward.
At an indicated 60mph (58mph on Tom Tom sat nav) the revs are just above 2000rpm.
This is at the start of the turbo power band, hence better torque and the ability to hold the gear rather than hunting between 6th and 5th.
Whilst on holiday a fellow Antara owner towing a twin axle Lunar asked me about 6th gear on his manual.
I advised him to try 5th.
Wonder how he got on ?
Your thoughts ?
