lol, i think theres something wrong with his truck there allan, i know ive towed plenty plenty, of mid size trucks, quads, go carts flat towed(more like a dune buggy)speed was never really a issueAt what speed are you shifting into 4th and then overdrive?
Because I have a well running 4.0 with 4.10 gears and frankly I think OD is USELESS when NOT towing below ~65mph.
If you have 3.73's (likely but not certain, but better than the other likely alternatives), 3.55's (More likely) or even 3.27's
(also possible) with increasingly taller axle gears you'd have SEVERE issues at 60mph in OD, because you've shifted up into a gear you can't really use.
Your owners manual tells you "DO NOT USE OD while towing" (At all)
all my trucks were 2.9s that i towed with too, they could easily tow another extended cab ranger behind me on towbar.
highway speeds were never a issue either
