My Expedition has 3:73 gears and a 5.4 engine with 6spd trans My trailer only weighs in at about 6100lb. but on level ground I leave it in o/d it doesn't have tow haul so on hilly areas when my trans temps go up according to Scan Gauge then I take it out of o/d and just use from 4th gear on down. In the midwest most of my driving is in o/d. I also get better mileage.
