Mountain grades
Heading up to the Smokies near Cherokee, NC. I have a Yukon Denali with 6.2l and HD tow pfg. Pulling a 26 ft Crossroads Slingshot. With our gear, it may weigh in about 5000 lbs. +/- a couple hundred...

Supercharged is right, the Smokies aren't bad at all, just wait until you get to the Rockies!
Drove over both. Rockies aren't any worse. In fact the steepness of the grades on the interstates are the same. Of course, Once you get off the big road. It gets worse in both areas.
Come with me, and lets tow go up, or down highway 80, Or 226. You'll be beggin for the Rockies.
BTW. The Rockies are the babies, The Appalachian are the older.
