towing in 5th???

[Sir Roofy]

i towed a 600+kg pop top camper with a load of probably 500kgs on tray along with two full tanks of diesel in the old girl,she didnt miss a beat doing 5000ks with some mighty hills,on which i was back to 4th ,and then if i pulled 5th going down the other side,i would drive/ accelarate all the way to the bottom,thus not allowing the weight to load the box,diff etc with foward twist/ torque,which apparantly puts more load than anything!?---i think it all comes down to driving smart and listening to your engine!!!----does anyone agree???????????

well after reading all this fantastic advice
it still comes back to common sence and listening to your motor
and driving to the conditions of your loaded vehicle yes id agree with you
