rpm rise before downshift

[03 D-max]

I was towing a hay head today with my truck roughly 2000 pounds. and when i come to a hill and the truck downshifts it seems to wind up a little and the drop into gear, it doesn't go in hard but that extra rpm worries me. SOOO whats wrong??

Maybe nothin is wrong. Adapts might be getting comfy.

My truck did the same thing when I was hauling the excavator.

Good to hear its nothing major. It does make you feel a little uneasy though.
