Automatic transmission on 2012 Access Cab

Hi,

I just bought a new 2012 access cab 4 cyclinder automatic. I don't know if it's just me because I'm not familiar with new transmissions (been awhile since I bought a truck)...or what?,but...it seems like it takes too long for the trans to change to fourth. I know it depends on a few things, but I'm talking just gradually building speed on flat roads....it usually changes into third about 30 or 35 and then fourth about 65. That seems like a big gap between 35 and 65.

Is this normal??

Thanks

4th gear is as tall as the 5th gear in V6 auto models, so it's only intended for highway cruising.

 

Thanks Ken,

That's kinda what I figured, but it just feels odd. Now, that I think of it...I had a 4 cylinder 85 Dodge D50 (Mitsubishi) but it was a 5 speed...so I'm probably used to that.

So, I shouldn't worry that it takes so long? (sometimes not until 70 mph!!)
