I am towing 12k and just don't think I want to put my truck through that when I can just drive around it by taking 189 to 26 to Idaho Falls. It's actually a few miles shorter.. I did tow the Wilson grade once years ago but at that time I was only hauling 7500lbs...
I assume you are talking about Teton pass? I have never heard it called the Wilson grade, but it does go thru Wilson.
It's not a big deal and is a slow enough road that you don't notice it too much.
I think going east bound actually gets to 12% in a few places.
Yes teton pass wilson grade the same thing. I think most would notice towing a 10% grade going up and down . One lane no turnouts my diesel 2nd gear 35 mph for 5 miles up then hope your brakes hold for the 5 miles down .
I'll just continue to drive around it.
