40 mph uphill? Other Armada or Titan TVs?

I see 2006 Armada makes 305 HP at 4900 rpm and 385 lb-ft torque at 3600 rpm.
When running hard I would probably hang around 3800 to 4800 rpm with that motor for as long as it takes. Usually just above peak torque will feel like the sweet spot for max power. With mine I often pull the lever to hold the gear and set the cruise control by the tachometer to just hold the rpm steady up the incline.
Running steady at full throttle up an incline is often the best part of the drive... for me. Back in the days of drag racing I would get to run full throttle for only 12 to 15 seconds. Running full out for a full 12 to 15 minutes is that much more satisfying.
that's for sure!! nothing sounds like a ram hemi at wide open throttle, 5000 rpm, in 4th or 5th gear(8 speed) going up a 16% grade!! yes I said 16%, only 2 km or so but steepest we saw was 17% going down and one at 16% going up
