If people with gas engines are towing at 1,900 rpms or 2,000 they are lugging their engines in my opinion.
The idea of 1,700 or 1,400 rpms makes even less sense if you want your engine to last.
My 2010 5.4L Torqshift auto/3.73 runs under 2k rpm on the flats. Rolling hills will cause a downshift to direct to run 2700~rpm or to 3rd to run 3800~rpm at 60 mph. At 106k miles, it still runs and looks new. No driveline repairs yet.
