Installed Tone's hitch and it looks great, although the wife thinks it looks like some kind of penis hanging out the back, whatever.

Here's the question, do I really need to tow in 3rd gear?

What I'm towing:
1990 Baja 174 Sunsport (Boat)
Weighs in somewhere around 1700-2000lbs (boat & trailer)
Single axel trailer, no brakes on trailer

I am headed from Indianapolis, IN to Rochester, IN, about an hour and 15 minutes by car. So probably 1 1/2-1 3/4 hours when in tow.

Thanks for any insight.
