Ihave 00 3.9L auto with 3.55 gear. I often pull a 2800lb camper without any problem, in a fairly hilly terrain. I can usually leave it in OD. I read in my owners manual that if I get a lot of gear changes I'll need to put it in drive. And I do.Oooops you have a 5speed. I don't see any problems with what you want to do.
