Gears and RPM are your friend with these. OD until you loose speed to 58-60. Out of OD and she'll pull hard. When she drops to 50-55 downshift to 3rd. Let the RPM rev as needed. Our 31' C towing 2200 pounds can pull up a 6-7 % grade at 50-60 MPH this way. No crazy gear shifting. If its really steep go to 2 at 45 and she can normally hold it. Occasionally we've been stuck behind a semi at 20-25 and she can usually pull it back up to 55. No speed demon that's for sure but not bad for 16000 pounds.
