Does the van downshift and rev up a bit when climbing those hills at 50 mph?
Have the transmission shop drive it with the trailer.
No, in cruise it just slows down until I press down on the gas and at least it does stop slowing down, but not accelerating and I dont think it downshifts at all. If I have my foot really down on the accelerator I can gradually pick up some speed but it doesnt downshift that I am aware of. I havent tried it without the trailer behind it. Now I dont jack rabbit from stop signs, but with the Mazda protege when I step down, like if I was going to pass someone it would really snap my head back. I will have to get the van out onto cleared roads and see if it still has any oomph without the trailer.
