I'm getting pretty good at picking up speed on the downgrade and
letting it
bleed off on the upgrade. Works pretty well, lets me stay in
overdrive, and
saves gas.

I just miss the manual tranny.


With all due respect, what you are missing is a vehicle designed to
tow something.

You don't want to be in overdrive while towing. An automatic,
designed for towing applications, will figure it out for you.

I have the same car. I tow in 4th, not in OD, and when necessary, I
downshift to third or lower. Much easier on the transmission.

You and John co-own the same car? No wonder youse guys are at each
others throat all the time.
