I don't expect to be flying up the hills, but I really felt the truck was struggling too much. We were doing maybe 30mph at 5000rpm in 2nd gear. I kept thinking I hope I don't stop or I will never get started again. Interestingly enough, I felt fine with the truck holding back the weight on the downhill side of the pass.
It is really a struggle to find the balance between a truck I will use to pull this rig 7-8 times a year, and a truck I run around town in. To answer the question about the gas RAM2500....There are some things I'm not super thrilled about with the RAM in general, so was thinking this is the opportunity to get away from those....."maybe"
Just curious as to what you don't like about the Ram 2500. It seems like a hot seller with the new 6.4 Hemi that's got cylinder deactivation. Great ride, so I've read and the build quality is top notch.
