RPM while towing

Should I be concerned about the RPMs that my motor will be turning? I have a 99 dodge with the 360 v8. I will be pulling from 2800-3000 rpm. The truck currently has 115k miles and pulling at full throttle for hours at a time never causes the motor to get too hot, so I think I have plenty of cooling capacity. I have the 5 speed, so trans temp should not be a problem.

It may take a while for me to get used to the high RPMs, but I want to make sure the truck is up for it.

Thanks
