We just drove a 2000 mile trip through Maryland West Virginia Ohio Indiana all through the mountains with the cruise set on 70 no problems whatsoever going up or going down without touching the brakes. Some of the grades were 10%

I've driven and towed with many gas trucks of various configurations and many diesels. Some like a diesel truck, I can make what I buy work for me....and not kill the truck. I OWN a home at 9k feet and take my trailer to our property. I don't need to spend 10k I don't need to nor the ongoing headaches of one. I can afford anything I want....I want simplicity. BTW I don't tow my trailer at 70 in the mountains...or anywhere else for that matter. To each his own.
