Ford 4.6 Triton
Anyone towing with a 4.6L Triton V8 in a Ford? F150, Econoline, Explorer, etc? I have one in my Sport Trac. Does great on the flats, not so bad on the hills. I can pull a 6% grade for several mil...

I noticed the Cruise control downshifts a cog when I am towing on the flats. My buddy's silverado 5.3 does that too. drives me nuts.
Shift your truck from 6th gear to 5th gear and you won't get the constant down shift with cruise. Your 6th gear is just a over drive only. You will turn higher rpms but this is not a big deal and keeps the transmission cooler and the gear in a better power band.
