Me and my wife are towing a 19 ft trailer across country and back. So far my oil temp maxes out at 230 and the truck tows really well at 65 mph and it hasn't even used hardly any oil. I will get the oil changed after 5000 miles as the trip is hard on the truck. Keep on trucking!!!

No worries. Their inventory being sent out to dealers is very minimal. In some cases, they have not given the dealers permission to order an appropriate amount of parts. They are also mandating that dealers repair UNSOLD units first, before units that are in the hands of customers. Additionally, Polaris does not reimburse the dealers enough to cover their time. Polaris has a time per repair formula that is understated, which puts dealers in a very bad position. They are actually losing money doing the repairs.
Just to be clear, I am not a dealer but have talked to several about this issue.

How is Polaris handling it? Sorry I don't know the owner aspect of it. I'm just a grunt in their manufacturing facility up here

Didn't know they hard a burning problem?
2013+ rzr 900 & 1000 2 & 4 seaters were recalled for fuel regulators and missing a heat shield near the exhaust exposing the fuel line and wiring harness to extreme temperatures resulting in fires. Nearly 200k units.

Or something along those lines. I'm not perfectly versed in the situation.

Want to borrow my brakes? These ebc's have way way improved braking under load. Even being the 7000 series low dust which is slightly less grabby. Anybody towing should definitely consider them over oe

I pulled it 17 hours with no trouble, but I was a little nervous the whole time

What does the trailer weigh? From the one picture the truck looks a little low in the back. Maybe some adjustments to your weight distributing hitch will help.

Manufacture list empty weight as 8574 lbs. I think that is over towing capacity.

The ecoDs with 3.92 gears have quite a bit higher tow cap. than with 3.55s. I find that interesting as the gearing is the only difference in the specs. I compared. After a year of use I still think the 3.92 gears would by overkill in the 1500s, I'm very pleased mine has 3.55s.

Contrary to your observations I put an aggressive m/t Tire about an inch and a half larger diameter from factory and I wish I had the 3.92, I think the truck would be a lot happier. It is nearly never in 8th, almost impossible to hold at normal speeds before the switch, and the rolling resistance with 3.55s killed MPG's

I agree. Had I taken my time choosing a truck off the lot or built one, I would've went 3.92. They just get the train moving easier.
