Change the fluid with ATF+4, refill a little over full mark.
I wouldn't tow with the RPM's under 1800.It will put a lot of strain on the motor and trans. The motor will not be in it's operating range and the trans. will be wanting to constantly kick down to maintain speed. If needed leave the OD off. I'm assuming you have the popular 3.55 rear gears and ???? size tires.
