Ohio to Florida on I 75. Steep grades?
We will be going to Florida via I75. I'm wondering if there are any steep downhill grades,that I may encounter along the trip. Especially in the mountains. Any advise?

Last fall I encountered Lookout Mountain on my way from Nashville to Atlanta. If I remember it was a 6% downhill grade for 4 miles. I downshifted to 2nd gear to enable me to stay at 55mph with little or no breaking.My 6.2 gasser was reving at 5,000 Rpm. The red line is 6,000 rpm. I'm hoping not to encounter that steep a grade on I 75.
Nothing like Monteagle. Not quite as steep, and in steps. Also much straighter
If yall are going over Lookout Mountain you are not on the Interstate
