I tow all the time in overdrive. however some old manual transmissions that were made 5spds from older 4spds, had weak overdrive gears and thus couldn't take towing heavy loads in overdrive. usualy not a concern since the engines they are coupled with usualy require downshifting anyway for said highload periods so...
oh and my truck has "only" the gas 5.4L 3v

In essence I end up running it on the Interstates all "Wound-Out" when pulling a Trailer at around 3000+ RPM's so I can maintain 70-75 MPH.
It will not "Hold" Overdrive and needs to be driven in 4th sometimes even 3rd.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong... although I realize 3000# isn't much of a load, I thought you were *never* supposed to tow in OD?
Although I must admit, when I tow <5,000# in my tahoe, I usually have it in OD and just cruise around 65-70 mph. It does have the towing package though (tranny cooler, etc). If there is even a hint of an uphill I slow and get it out of OD. 
I do not tow 3000#'s.
I tow an 1800# Cargo trailer.
My statement was that I generally need to be turning 3000 RPM's when not in OD.
To stay with the "flow-Of-Traffic" on the interstates.
The problem is not the weight but the poor aerodynamics or absolute lack of...With my Trailer.
The screwy thing is that in OD ( I have an Automatic with the Trailer Tow PKG and it is rated for 6500#) It is just a barely able to "Hold" 5th Gear OD and wants to initiate the dreaded "Gear-Hunt"...At which point I quickly drop it into 4th and power away.
In OD my mileage is great! even with the Trailer I can Avg 18MPG on the HWY.
Ohhh but when running in 4th...Good Gawd it begins to just guzzle the fuel, the 91 Octane fuel at that!
If I just had a 4.5th gear it would be all good.
But I dont so my next move is to install a nose-cone on the Trailer and try to "Clean-Up" the Aerodynamics. Or just buy a better F-ing Trailer.
I run a Business during the summer months that takes me and my Trailer all thru the Western states.
It pays well and I like being out on the road.
And the Tacoma really is a "Sporting" Truck as far as Trucks go.
Just couldnt see driving a damned full size all winter as I run a company in an office complex and its hard enough finding parking for the Lil' taco! Plus the Tacoma is an Off-roading Supah-Stah!

In the Mountains....The V-6 just dosent have the Torque to earn its money "Honestly'....Its has to "Cheat" and turn crazy RPM's!!!! That causes impressive fuel consumption. A low end torque monster V-8 the 4.0L Toyota motor will never be. But....I'll race you dammit!

I had looked into the new mid size Nissan Frontier's. I would forever miss my 5.2 liter in my Dakota though. I sure do miss my old 2wd 1993 Magnum 5.2 liter Dakota though. 300 lb-ft of torque with a 3.92 LSD rear end was a lot of fun in that truck, which didn't really weigh all that much for a midsize truck.
How much does that Tacoma weigh? My truck is around 4720 pounds; that was with about 150 pounds of junk in the toolbox. I don't remember though if that was without me in it or not. I need to remove the toolbox, get my junk out of the truck and weigh it again without me in it and with a full tank of gas. Just for curiosity.

I'm really unsure of the weight, but the damn thing accelerates pretty quick for a truck.

Here is your trucks weight...

I'm surprised, I figured it would be a couple hundred pounds heavier.

Il UGGS Outlet regarda dans Nike Tn Requin Pas Cher le trou Nike Roshe Run creusé Nike Air Max Cheap par le prospecteur, günstige nike schuhe y retro jordans for cheap préleva quelques batées, Nike Air Women qu’il lava lui-même, et nike sneakers offrit coach factory outlet online sur-le-champ à Marcus O’Brien Pandora Outlet Store dix mille nike sportschuhe dollars, Cheap Air Max pour tous droits présents Ugg Pas Cher Femme et à venir.

Pour les UGG Boots Cheap cinq mille Reebok Outlet Store autres, il lui reconna?trait une demi-part Air Max 90 de Nike Polo Sale gains dans son entreprise de UGGS For Women jeu.
Marcus O’Brien refusa l’offre. Il était Nike Air Huarache For Sale là, Adidas Originals Sale déclara-t-il avec canada goose jackets on sale chaleur, Nike Store pour tirer de l’argent Original Ugg Boots du Pandora Store Sale sol et non de ses air force one pas cher semblables. Cheap Toms Outlet Store Le reebok running shoes pharaon Cheap Michael Kors Tote Bag ne l’intéressait pas et, Nike Shox discount Sale au surplus, il ジョーダン スニーカー estimait christian louboutin outlet que son Cheap Real Jordans filon 23 IS BACK Store valait Nike Shoes Online plus Jordan Store de nike mercurial soccer cleats dix mille dollars.
Le second Canada goose dam événement zapatillas nike baratas important scarpe nike de la journée Nike Air Shoes se produisit dans l’après-midi, lorsque Siskiyou Pearly amarra son Abercrombie and fitch store bateau sur la Chaussure Nike Pas Cher rive du Jordan Sneakers For Sale Yukon, Air max levně devant Nike Kyrie Red Cow.

Les hommes de Red Canada Goose Outlet Cow converse store quittèrent Adidas Yeezy Cheap leur Discount Ray Ban Sunglasses travail. Ils dégustèrent Vans Black Sneakers le Canada Goose Womens Coats whisky, à Soccer Boots Outlet nike un dollar Pandora Style Beads le verre, celui-ci Ugg boots Sale pesé sur Toms Factory Outlet les Michael Kors Clearance balances de Jim le Frisé, et ils discutèrent des nouvelles du journal.
Et tout Uggs For Cheap se serait admirablement Christian Louboutin Shoes Outlet passé, si Jim le Ugg Pas Cher En France Frisé n’avait con?u le projet Scarpe Nike Scontate diabolique de saouler Nike Air Sneakers Marcus Air max dam O’Brien, Michael Kors Outlet puis de profiter Pandora Store de son ébriété pour Canada Goose Outlet lui acheter Cheap Nike Huarache son filon.
Ce plan, Nike Online Store au début, marcha ugg factory outlet comme sur des roulettes. Il Nike Shox Cheap re?ut son exécution Scarpe Air Max dès le début Nike Air Pas Cher de la soirée et, Adidas Soccer Cleats Cheap à neuf New Nike Shoes heures Jordan Shoes For Cheap du nike shoes soir, Marcus O’Brien Discount TOMS chantait toms shoes outlet à tue-tête. nfl store Il fitflops sale uk s’accrochait à Nike Shoes Discount Marketplace Jim le Chaussure Air Max Frisé, en lui passant son Louboutin Wedding Shoes bras Moncler Sale autour du Mens Nike Air Max cou, et Pandora Store même il n’hésita point à entamer la Nike Air Max Goedkoop fatale Coach Bags On Sale chanson des petits oiseaux qui, Moncler Jackets Discount Marketplace un mois new pandora charms avant, avait cheap uggs for women co?té ADIDAS NMD SALE ON LINE la vie Negozi Pandora au pauvre Ferguson.

Il était certainement Jordan Shoes Air loin Coach Outlet Store Online à Moncler Outlet présent ugg clearance !
Mais la seconde partie de Moncler Outlet Online la Christian Louboutin Heels combinaison ne répondit point au succès de la première.

Il y avait des moments, sans doute, nike tn pas cher où O’Brien Cheap Air Max Trainers hésitait, et un tremblement s’emparait de lui, lorsqu’il se sentait UGG BOOTS FOR WOMEN sur le point TOMS For Sale de céder. Boutique Ugg Mais, Descuentos Nike quel ugg store que f?t le Nike Free Run 5.0 Womens trouble Nike joggesko de womens nike air max ses idées, il chaussure basket homme ne laissait Nike Air Damen point son Adidas Superstar cerveau battre la Nike Air Jordan 11 campagne botas de futbol plus Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 For Sale qu’il ne convenait.
