Set the cruise control on 62 MPH, then stay in the seat. You'll get there only a few minutes behind the leadfoot who wouldn't stay in the seat.
Mine will safely drag that load at 80 MPH, even with that much headwind. But I can't afford the fuel at those speeds, so I cruse along at 62 MPH, which is 1,800 RPM.

The only thing I could do was was get up to 70 mph set the cruise and then drop the shifter down to third to keep the trans from hunting like mad.

I've never driven a 6.0L with TorqShift trqnny, but isn't that what tow/haul mode is for? Third gear is 1.55 ratio - much too low a gear for cruising on the freeway.
