10k lbs vs 3 half tons vs the Ike Gauntlet
Older videos from 2013 driving 2014 models from TFL... I know they are kind of corny but I enjoy their videos, entertaining at the least. Basically they hook 10k up to the trucks and race to the top....

Those are cool little marketing pieces... but how many people actually try to haul a RV over that pass? I have never been there and have ZERO intention to go there. I've been across country before never took that route.
People cite roads exactly like this as to why a half ton truck is inadequate for anything but buying groceries... Why would I ever want to haul over this pass??? The only reason that I can think of is to justify to myself buying WAY more truck than is necessary 99.9% of the time, just so I can use it that 0.1% of the time driving up this road.
I-70 through the tunnels is actually one of the milder passes in Colorado; I've been over it many times. There's no reason to avoid it. If you want to get from Denver to the western slope it's the only practical way. There are many "tougher" passes in Colorado, but none on interstate highway.
