We always tow as discussed on this board - 4th gear with Tow Mode.
We are crossing Louisiana and the Florida panhandle with a 29' TT (6500 - 7000#). The highways here are extremely flat. You can see the Atlantic from New Orleans!!
Once you get up to speed (60-65 mph) on the flat roads, will it hurt to slip the tranny in to 5th? The RPM's drop about 500-700 so fuel economy is better.
Is it OK to move to 5th for these long stretches and just keep an eye on the temp guage? or does it need to stay in 4th?
BTW - we are driving a 2011 Armada.
Thanks for any quick replies.
