thanks i appreciate the feedback. just needed to be sure before i made any decisions. have a good day/ summer during the zombie apocolypse. lol. crazy times out there.

Hello all, Im pretty embarrassed to write this, but I was new to pickups in 2017. Always had suvs. Basically I got a 2017 elevation for the purpose to tow an RV. The problem is, I didn't realize that I was supposed to tow in 2wd. Anyway, I towed a 6500 pound rv in 4wd all the way from Delaware to New York at about 65 miles per hour. This is 3 years ago, but it has always bothered me if I messed up my transmission. since then i always tow in 2wd after someone told me. I do notice a hard shift when slowing down (only after towing the vehicle for about 4 hours, even after i disconnect the rv). IF i am not towing, the truck drives great. the other thing i notice is that if i put it in 4wd low, it makes a noise when turning. I dont drive in 4wd low, but I was just testing it out on my street. maybe its normal, i have no idea and no one to ask. in any case, 3 years ago my neighbor said i likely damaged the transmission when i towed that distance in 4wd on dry roads. do you think I would have noticed something by now (3 years later) or is that hard shifting caused by the mistake i made? Just wondering if i should keep my truck or look into getting another one. and yes i feel like an ass. lol thanks for any advice. my truck : 2017 gmc elevation 3.5L, 3.42 axle, tow 9200 or so.
