Nice to see GM has finally added pucks and gooseneck hitch!
There are so many variables as in the wind differences that day or the 3.73's VS 4.10's can perform differently at a certain grade.
The Exhaust braking They obviously have their computer set to downshift sooner than the RAM. Personally that is no way to descend a grade! Proper way is to choose the gear you would have come up the grade in and lock it in and set the cruise to 55 or so and enjoy the ride down.
Fact is GM has a good product but it is at it's design limits.
