I have been at 14K feet with my loaded diesel truck traveling at 70mph uphill and still had throttle left. No gasser is going to have that power.
Where? Old I'ld love to go there. Bear tooth (212) was only 10,700 I believe and no way on earth anybody with a trick and load is going to go 70 on that twisty road.
Sorry need to correct myself. The high point of the Mountains was 14K and the old road topped out at 12K feet while the new route I took through the Eisenhower Tunnel is at 11,158'. This is on I70 west of Denver.
Despite being near my GVWR I was passing quite a few pickups and even cars going up that mountain.
