Made the first trip this weekend. About 60 miles each way, some 2 lane about 35 miles interstate pulling ~ 7400 lbs bumper hitch.
The truck shows 9.2 mpg on the lie-o-meter.
The 10 speed was flawless. Ran in 8th @ 70. Would drop to 7th on the hills at about 2600 rpm. Way more power than my 5.3 Chevy.
Adding Timbrens helped with the loose feeling. I think whats left is being caused by the junk p-series Goodyears that are on the truck.
What kind of hills? Percentage slope? My '17 would drop to 5th towing a Polaris General on a '12 trailer in the rolling hills of SE Oklahoma
