The 4T65E transmission typically shifts into overdrive when the vehicle reaches cruising speed, usually around 45-50 mph, and the throttle is steady or lightly applied. This shift is designed to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce engine RPMs during highway driving. However, the transmission will not shift into overdrive if the engine load is high, such as during acceleration, climbing hills, or towing. Proper functioning of the transmission's electronic control system ensures the shift occurs at the appropriate conditions.

When to turn off overdrive in your car?
The overdrive should be switched off when you want to avoid unneccessary shifting. If you are driving on a hilly road, the vehicle will shift out of overdrive going uphill to maintain speed while pulling the vehicles weight up the hill, and shift into overdrive going down the hill to save fuel when additional engine power is not needed. When towing with an automatic transmission, the vehicle may tend to repeatedly shift in and out of overdrive due to the added weight. In scenerios such as these, you should turn off the overdrive to avoid the unneccesary shifting which puts more wear and tear on the transmission.
