Is this an automatic transmission you are complaining about? Sounds
like there may be something wrong with it if it stayed in 2nd gear until
65 mph. I once overloaded my truck with 2200 pounds of dirt. Didn't
have any problem getting the truck up to 55 mph on the highway with that
load. I have a 5 speed manual 4.7.
