A method for operating a drive-train of a vehicle, such as a municipal or agricultural utility vehicle, having at least one drive machine, a vehicle transmission with at least two gears, at least one drive axle and at least one auxiliary power take-off. The method includes controlling or regulating a supply of normal power from the drive machine as a function of a normal torque characteristic. Depending on the operating situation, supplying additional power to the at least one drive axle and/or to the at least one auxiliary power take-off. The supplied additional power is controlled or regulated as a function of operating situation dependent torque characteristics which are called up as a function of the selected gear at the time.
