Wouldn't it be nice if a person with a gasser could post without getting all the diesel folks to chime in and not really address his post? :h
I tow an 11.5K fifth wheel with a 2012 F250 6.2 with 4.30 diffy. I have never been in the rockies but tow the smokies an average of twice a year. There is one long 6% grade northbound on I12 in NC. I run that one at 45 mph in 3rd gear. RPM usually around 3500. I am in no hurry so don't have the go pedal smashed to the floor.
Seems to me that the hemi should do about the same, but I don't have a clue.
