Welcome to the Stovebolt!

Seems to me most the overdrive automatics are not supposed to be used in overdrive when towing. There may be some exceptions, but I'd check into that before making a change.

It may also depend on what you mean by decent mileage. This is a big box you are pushing through the air. Its not going to get great mileage regardless of gearing.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
