The rv limit in wa st is 60 mph on ANY interstate or state hwy. Cars under 10K can go upwards of 70, BUT, if you pull ANY sort of trailer or equal, your max speed is 60.

Hence why I see no reason to have 373 gears in a dually and a dod tranny! you may never get to use dod at 60 mph depending upon many factors!
