Route 4 and I-89 are not precisely devoid of hills, though they may be a little gentler overall.
Route 9 in my opinion should not give you particular trouble; just downshift as necessary on the downhills to keep your speed under control and save your brakes. There are indeed a few pretty good hills on the road, but it's not a trecherous route. If you have to slow down a bit on the uphills, so be it.
Thank you for the opinion. I only found a few people expressing concerns over the route in my search on the net. The twisties with a lot of hills just has me a little nervous about it all. The truck has done mostly fine with keeping speed going uphill. I only have about 1000 miles of experience with towing so I'm still getting the feel for it all.
