Pulling in overdrive

Like I said before this 350 I purchased a couple of weeks ago has the towboss package, think I can pull a 12,000 5er in overdrive due to the fact the rpms are so high due to the gear ratio?

It wil go in to 5th with the TOW/HAUL mode. It just changes the profile of when it up-shifts. The neat thing is that it will automatically downshift during downhill decents to control the load if needed.
