Heading to the Rockies for 5 or 6 weeks.
Well we have been traveling all over the place and I found out how my 3.5 EcoBoost would handle the Rockies. Going up hills I have no problem with power at all. I slow for the corners and speed back...

It sounds like you are not using your Tow Haul so I would have to ask why? Any time you are towing or loaded heavy as in "hauling" the Tow Haul should be engaged. With TH on going down long steep grades, 5 or 6 percent, you will hardly use your brakes at all. Even better you won't be burning a drop of gas all the way to the bottom and will arrive with nice cool brakes ready to perform.
When climbing even a slight grade of 2 - 3 percent you are slowly but surely cooking your transmission by running with TH off. Once in a great while I forget to turn it on and my Scan Gauge quickly reminds me to do so as the trans fluid temperature quickly climbs 12 - 15 degrees... engage TH and I watch it drop by that much in just a mile or two {this on our 2011 V-10 in a 24' Class C}.
There is simply no good reason not to use Tow Haul.
