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....

Yes, there are steeper/twistier mountain roads out there, but not many that are that steep AND feature high speed limits. A lot of the secondary roads are single lane with lower speed limits. Couple that with a few slow vehicles without frequent passing lanes, and it's a lot easier to climb the hill.
The combination of driving up a steep grade and the added wind resistance caused by higher speeds puts maximum loads on the driveline of the tow vehicle.
I did it because I wanted to see what my TV could do. On the steeper grades, we were at 40 MPH, 2nd gear, 4000 RPM.
If my TV can handle that, it can handle anything else I throw at it.
