A couple things, and some personal experience.
The speed limit going up is 60 MPH, not 65.
Colorado does in fact allow pulling tandem with two bumper pull trailers.
Going from personal experience. my current set up will sometimes drop down to 40 MPH by the time I get to the top. I am about 17000 pounds.
And, dropping a few thousand pounds doesn't seem to matter much. These loads are around 15000 pounds, and the speed is the same.
And, towing with my old truck and Smarty JR had the best results - never below 50 MPH.
So, I guess the moral of the story is that in my experience, they are all very close. Does a minute or two to get to the top really matter in the grand scheme of things.
I love my RAMs because of great personal experience with them, but I have to ask the fanboys out there. Do your hands ever get tired of clapping for your truck?
