What to expect with a new gasser
Looking at a new gas class A on the Ford F-53 Chassis and am wondering just what to expect. Would need a 5K toad which would put me up close to the GCWR of 30K. All this from a 320HP 460 Torque gas ...

Around Verde Valley in Arizona, on Route 17 between Phoenix and Flagstaff, there are some very long grades. We have done them both ways, a few times, and they are a slog when going up. Near the end, we are dragging butt at around 35 MPH, but so are the trucks so we always have company. Going down never seems to be a problem.
We live in Arizona and go over these grades all the time and yes they are tough. I added a 5 Star tuner Clicky about 2 month ago. Been over those grades 3 times since going both ways and what a difference. The 5-6 pct. one at Verde Valley went from 35-40 mph to 58-59 mph and that's with a 31' class C loaded to 14K lbs. and towing 2700 lbs. I recommend it highly. And no I don't own stock.
