Traveling I 70 east bound Utah to Denver
We have a 2007 Dodge Dually 3500 diesel truck automatic transmission and pulling a 42-foot fifth wheel. Reading about grades going up and going down is this something we should attempt or have you do...

Some big hills on I 70 you will see all the signs warning semi trucks. Use manual in a lower gear and use your brakes lightly. I never had an exhaust brake on a pickup truck ....use it if you have one. There is a long down hill as you get to the last big hill just before the Denver area. Trick is to never let your rig get rolling to fast down hill find a speed, gear that holds back and let it drift. When you see semi trucks going down big hills in low gear in the right lane that is a good indication you should be doing the same.....Be safe.
