On the 4 speed overdrive is worthless with that kind of weight. I towed my bass boat yesterday and at 65mpg I was 3000 rpm's and it towed fine, turned overdrive on and at 62 mph was at 1800 RPM and you have no power. Only reason to use overdrive while towing is if the trailer and gear weigh 1500lbs or less.
