To answer the OP's question. My 2011 Ford 6.7 has 43,000 miles on it and has been flawless so far. It has towed a 13,000lb fiver up and down the West Virginia mountains 11,000 of those miles. I would say that this is one of the toughest places to tow a camper. I average 10 to 11 mpg towing and 17-19 solo. It is a F350 CC 4x4 SRW SB.
Agree...Born and raised in WV, (living in NC now, still in the mountains:))....Towed all over the state of WVa and own a camp in Pence Springs WV...don't tell others how the mountains are in WV:)...IF you live east of the Mississippi, there are no mountains to most others who live west of the Mississippi:R
10-13% grades, (and up) on secondary, mountainous, curvy roads are a "norm"...rarely a straight long stretch to be found..but you are correct..I tow my 5er, loaded to 16,200# all through those mountains quite effortlessly...(mine is a CC/4X4/LB/DRW truck).
