40 mph uphill? Other Armada or Titan TVs?

Of course a turbo loses some efficiency at altitude compared to sea level. However, that doesn't alter the fact that a turbo charged engine is way, way more efficient and better at high altitudes than a NA engine.
I had no problem running at 60-65 on interstates when out in the Rockies recently with my 3.5L Ecoboost engine. And on steep inclines, when forced to slow way down due to a slow vehicle in front of me, I was able to get back up to speed with little effort, little gas pedal, and relatively low RPM's after the interference was eliminated.
Nor did I have any issues going up even steeper 2 lane roads.

You’re absolutely correct. I had boost on my mind, my bad
I do suggest that people that don’t believe higher altitudes effect turbo diesels to do some research on the subject.
