I will be pulling my 35k combined double tow thru 6% grades next week. What should my low speed be?
44 mph if you hit a long steady 6%. Sometimes there are short sections with a 6% grade where the sign is but the overall grade is considerably less. To really know the grade of the hill you'd have to know the elevation at two points on the hill and measure the distance between them. Here is a link to an
elevation tool.Edit: I was thinking you had 3.42 gears so 44 mph was figuring you'd be approaching the redline in 2nd gear. You've actually got 4.10's. The 4.10 gears will keep you in 3rd at a nicer rpm but you'll only be at about 40 mph.... maybe a touch over.
