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.

Yeah, I'll just do what the book says. Actually, the 4Runner is a great
towing vehicle, if I leave it in 4th gear. Then it doesn't downshift unless
it *really* needs to.
