Ram Tow button question
I am a new TT owner and I am about to head to our first trip. I had a question with regards to drive. In my old vehicle, the tow button was synonymous with not going into overdrive. Now on my new pick...

I wonder why mine's not using the higher gears while towing, maybe a defect in the trans? When towing on a flat, I use electronic range select to drop down to 3rd, and watch the rpm needle. there is a drop from 3 to 4, and sometimes from 4 to 5, but never anything from 5 to off, telling me the trans isn't shifting any higher.
Maybe the hemi doesn't have enough power to use those higher gears towing my particular trailer?
You don't say what you're towing, what gear ratio you have or the like. In my setup the truck uses top gear often, however I've got 3.93 gearing and we're hauling maybe 3k with the TT and truck bed contents.. less than 1/3rd capacity.
