Typical gasser symptoms. 8,000lbs is a good load for only 360hp and 380tg. I would slow to 60mph and stay in 5th gear. Unless you have a diesel you won't enjoy running 65mph. Since your tranny is shifting at the slightest incline then it's evident that you're pushing the limits of the motors power and need to slow down to allow the motor to handle the load better. You really need 400hp and 400+tq to run 65mph with that 8000lb TT.
