You’ve your reasons, but sub-60/mph on an Interstate only means better traffic management. One DOESNT allow others to dictate driving.
If non-OD straight transmissions were a money-maker you’d see fleets use them. They don’t.
Looks like we agree that post-2000 six speed autos are a good choice. The earlier ones did not have the requisite reliability or longevity given diesel torque. But there’s nothing cheap about them. I’d look at a G56 pretty carefully in a cost comparison.
As to rear gears able to handle the load, I wish you luck.
