I'm in the Smokies right now, waiting for a table at Joey's Pancake House. Wednesday we pulled 6000 pounds up Black Mountain in a 2000 Suburban 1500. Without beating on the old burb I could maintain 45mph. On the interstate I stayed around 65, 55 on the longer uphill climbs. Mine has had the engine replaced a while back. It's well maintained. It was not a stressful drive but, if I were going to be out West I would want more truck/SUV. In fact, when I get my wife's car paid off I'll be looking for a 3/4 ton. I don't think you're going to be happy in the big mountains.
