The only thing that keeps my rig viable when towing hills is the 4.10 rear. The four speed limits this setup pretty severely. My tow rating is 9300 lb and I usually leave home around 8K +/- 200 lb. I'm over my 15,300 lb combined pretty often. If you're not in a hurry, you'll make out a lot better. Steep, short entrance ramps onto highways are the main enemy, and the tach needle spends quite a bit of time between 3600-4500. If you have a 3.55, you better have a 6 spd trans to go with it, IMHO.
