Now add in getting there 15-20 second before the other guy! This is a race you know!
It's a little more than 15-20 seconds. I figure the Ram will pull that same trailer up the hill in about 13 and a half minutes but it would have to be pulled down to second to do it. In 3rd gear it would take longer. If the Ford had been manually pulled down into 3rd sooner it would have made better time.
I pulled my 15000 lb RV up a steep grade yesterday. The truck slowed to about 50 mph before I manually dropped it to 3rd gear. It then accelerated to 55 mph for the rest of the grade.
