The V10 trans is essentially the same as the diesel trans. Towing in OD is not a problem, especially only 5000 pounds. My V10, with 3.55s pulled my 30 ft enclosed at 80 MPH and never a problem. On long mountain grades you may need to turn the OD off but I wouldn't leave it off. Only turn it off when you need to. Don't lug the engine, slow down and downshift the trans.


GJ is spot on with his advice…. Honestly we didn’t see the torque converter issues with the V10 like we did the diesels of that era.
