There is a consensus that when towing, 4th gear is preferable to 5th, if you want your gearbox to last.

But why is that?

I mean, if I have a ton of equipment in the trailer I should use 4th gear.

If however that equipment is in the back of vehicle then 5th gear is OK.

Is it something to do with the towing that causes the gearbox grief, rather than than the weight itself?
