One thing that no one has mentionsd is the downhill grade. We had an old class A with a Ford 460 and it scared us in the Smokies and out toward Glacier NP. we bought a DP and everything changed with the exhaust brake. It also went right up the hills (isc Cummins 330hp, 27000 lb).
We traded on a new class c with the Ford V10 with the tow haul switch and did the same routes including all of Alaska and had no problems climbing hills (17500 lbs plus a 3000 tow car). It went from cozy to cramped so now we have another DP that we are just trying out, but it seems to be even better at hills than our last one.
