Isn't I-75 in Florida? One place you say you tow all over Florida in fifth, but then on I-75 you talk about leaving it in fourth. I tow all over the country and use fourth, even though it will often hold fifth. About the same performance as I had with my 07 Classic running in 3rd of 4 gears. Most of the advantage is due to the six speed.
