PUCampin gave a very good explanation. I drive a delivery truck with a 450 HP motor and it slows down on uphill grades too. Any vehicle will have to work harder and go slower up a grade while weighted by a carried or towed load. Don't be afraid to run the RPMs up some and let the motor reach it's"peak power". If your present tow vehicle is your daily driver it sometimes does not make sense to feed a larger one every day for an occasional tow.Food for thought.
