Just drop down a gear or two...the rear axle will never know the difference.
Unless you are pushing the very upper limits of the tow ratings and doing lots of mountain driving...the modern gas engines are overkill (diesel is just more overkill).
Ughhh! It does’t work like that!
Ughhh...actually that's exactly how it works.
Apparently you don't know the inner workings or physics of the inside of a transmission. Just dropping a gear doesn't do anything other than make you spin more rpm and at a lower speed. With still the same output at the rear axle. If you change the rear axle ratio you will effectively change each ratio in the transmission. Not going to get into it here, but that's exactly how it works.
