Like others mention, my query is mainly aimed at tips while going downhill since that is where things can go awry.
That is what I was also thinking. I have noticed in the short amount of time for which I have owned this truck (bought in December 2017) that is does a good job of down shifting when going down a slope (in or out of tow/haul mode). I live in the Charlotte NC area and so far my camper trips have been to the beaches on the east, this will be my first trip to the moun...err...hills :-).
Short jabs at braking for meaningful slowdown is also good advise, thanks!
I do have a WDH with sway control, so that should also help.
Plz keep the comments coming. It is good for me to hear about experiences others have had on such trips.

Set tow haul and try to keep RPM's at or around 2000. It will pull hills with ease with minimal gear changes and give best MPG.
