Let me tell you what it's going to be like.
I have a 6.5 turbo diesel that puts out 200 HP and 425 ft/lb of torque. It has 4:10 gears out back. I towed a 6,000 lb TT with it where you live.
I was down to less than 30 MPH on some big mountains where you live. I was at WOT for many, many, many minutes at a time at a crawl.
You want to get a heaver trailer then I have and tow it with a truck that puts out 181 HP. That's 19 less than what I had.
You will be somewhere around 25 to 30 MPH WOT climbing out of Denver. If this is Ok with you, get it.
I would never do this but it's your money.
