Hi,

Unfortunately the 'top' gear ratio is identical in the 4 speed and 5 speed, so you will get no mileage help that way.

The tow haul switch does work differently.

It is possible to go to a taller tire but that requires new rims.

My rv is 28 feet and fully loaded I'm just below the maximum safe weight.
