You're right, the specific heat of water vapor is higher than that of dry air. I had to check it out. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/en...air-d_683.html

A fog would really help you, because you'd be vaporizing the suspended water droplets and getting the benefit of the much higher latent heat of vaporization.

Seems like if you riged a water spray on the radiator from a tank of water that would help also!

BTW I towed a kinds of things, boat, woodsplitter, motorcycle trailer, utility trailer with my ECHO (albeit for short distances >20 miles) 5 speed no problem.
