Is it ok to say that it needs at least 2200 rpm to tow a reasonable load?(in my case,let's say 7000lbs trailer and 1200lbs in the bed).. no hills I mean..
With our 2013 SC DRW, 4.30 gears and 17" tires pulling our 16K trailer we run 2K rpm in 6th gear doing 65 mph on flat ground. It will downshift to 5th going over most overpasses and sometimes down to 4th gaining about 500 rpm each time it downshifts.
