Hot weather towing
'22 GMC Sierra 2500HD, 6000lb trailer.
Will be heading to Denver Co from Vancouver BC in a week or so.
Have towed this route a number of times in the past, mostly in spring or fall, so the temperatures were less than current. Usually have done the Interstates through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, then either I80 or down to I70 from Salt Lake City, but have done I90 east then south down I25 as well. Regardless, mountain ascents are encountered (although I70 is significant).
Appears this heat is affecting every state in the south/southwest. Due to schedule, we will be travelling about 8-10 hours a day both ways, and only early morning/late night is not feasible.
For those pulling in this heat, any issues encountered or any suggested changes to routine?
