2010 shifting problem

When towing my rv, about 6500 lbs, my 2010 with 5.4 auto skips right through second gear. It shifts 1-2 but just touches second gear and goes right to third gear. It does this all the time while towing. It does this rarely when not towing. This has been since the truck was new. The dealer seems to blow me off on this by saying they need the truck for 3-5 days. The problem did seem to go away after one of the scheduled maintenance checks but shortly returned. Any ideas? Thanks...chris3

I can't help with the problem but I can offer a solution. Contact Mike @5Star tuning, I have been running an SCT X3 with his 87 octane Tow/Performance tune since around 10k miles on it and it shifts like a dream. 5 Star Tuning | Custom Dynomemeter Chassis Tuning Products and Services

Hate to say it, but you may need to give the dealer the 3-5 days they say they need. Maybe another dealer can do it quicker? It sounds like the shifting software needs to be updated at the least, though I don't see this taking several days, or even hours.
