What are you considering “a little fast” for the engine speed?

If it’s an automatic transmission, then it’s not going to shift into drive/overdrive very often due to the additional load when towing, so I’d expect 2,000 - 2,500 RPM to be normal, even at cruising speed on the highway.

I thought the engine was running a little fast. Now I know why. The only solution is to find a G80 with the other ratios; maybe one with the 3.21 ratio, since there appears to be no aftermarket replacements available, nor originals either.

Yeah, you're probably right. Cruising at 1800 rpm is probably not possible.
