Minimal if any shifting then.

Do the manual shift thing and keep the transmission in a gear that gets you to that 2k mark at highway speeds.

Of course I am speaking about a 5 or 6 speed here. No experience myself with the newer 8+ speed transmissions.



Reminds me of an old thread.


""Can I tow a big 5th wheel RV with a 6 point

something pickup?"


And the responses claiming a diesel as absolutely necessary.

Bull
And
Schidt

That 6. something produces more snot than the original Super Duty.
If you think Super Duty means a "big" pickup, Google it.

Those engines were dragging 73,280# up and down our highways everyday for
years. And we're among the Big Dawgs of their time.

Yeah, I'm certain a 6. something can drag a measly 14ķ# trailer.
What 6 something gas was used in what truck pulling over 70k?

Not trying to start a pizzing match, just curious?
