Not the problem I was expecting to have
Yesterday, I took my 2011 Lincoln Navigator L (rated to tow 8700 lbs) in to have a WD hitch with sway control installed so I could pick up my Outback Terrain 299TBH. Now, to be clear, trading this TV ...

Yeah, you are not going to be going down the road in OD lopping along at under 2000 rpms towing a TT... ;)
Your engines peak power is gonna come in around 4,000+ rpms, so be prepared for that if you've never been there before, it will seem like the pistons are gonna fly out of the hood!
Going up any grade is gonna drop your speed as well as raise your rpms. Don't try or expect to keep up with traffic.. You'll be sharing the right lane with the semi trucks..
But, that's NORMAL for a gas engine towing a heavy load behind it..
Also expect less than 10 mpg, but more likely around 8 mpg with that load.
Good luck with the backing practice!
