Yep, lower gear and higher RPM. I went through the WV Turnpike southbound and at times my truck would drop down to 55 in 3rd gear, a little more throttle and it dropped to 2nd and pulled hard back up to speed (around 4500 rpm at 65 mph) never once did it complain. definitely let it rev instead of bog down! trans temp never got over 190deg.
And you weren`t struggling. the Toyota was operating the way it was supposed to. Diesels rev the same way, except their redline is around 3500rpm. so when they are spinning at 2500 rpm they are working hard!
