I suspect he'd make it to the top :)
In low gear at 30 mph and half a tank of gas later. We had a mid nineties Ford with the 460, it would pull anything we needed to move but we couldn't afford to feed it.- It appears to be the top dog right now of the gas trucks. I'll stick with my oil burner, though.

Why in the h@ll does your display screen constantly blink...that'd drive me insane...otherwise awesome truck.
Same here just watching the video made me think that.
chevman- Same reason wheels appear to roll backwards on camera with the truck rolling forwards, or the new running lights on trucks appear to blink as well.

That’s just the interaction between the truck display that’s actively being refreshed, and the device used to take the video that’s taking x number of frames per second.

- TFL guys already tried it on the Ike. 8 miles 7% grade at a high elev of 11,000 ft with a 16,000 lb trailer.
It did ok.

Take it to Pittsburgh, Canton Avenue it's short but steep.
I believe there's a road that's steeper in Hawaii.
