From LustyKid:

Explain what you mean by revs at 80. Automatic Tranny, if slipping at that speed, its slipping, you don't say how many miles on the vehicle. So I would say the tranny needs new clutches

If it has 4 wheel drive and the 4 wheel switch is on, you need new transfer case clutches. Top speed for 4 wheel diriving is 50 MPH.

Check all fluid levels in the vehicle, ensure tranny is correct. The color should be reddish, if its brownish, clutches are probaby very thin. Hope that helps.
