Many people call it overdrive, I consider the E4OD and 4R100 tranys a 4 speed trany. If you had a 6 speed manual would you never tow in 5th or 6th???? I tow in 4th gear all the time!!!!

As mentioned before, keep the trans from hunting, this is what creates heat and will kill the trans. I recommend a trans oil temp gage to monitor temp and let you know if your driving style needs to change.
