I was not thinking it was a poor result but it's combined weight rating seems it would be much slower than is excepted for 850 ft lbs of torque. Probably the reason for not towing that much weight.

I think that's more indicative of the extreme grade and elevation of the Eisenhower. IIRC it's 8%, topping out at 11,000 feet. Makes anything we have here in Washington seem like a speed bump. Take a class 8 truck and hook a 17K trailer to it and I doubt it would go much faster up that hill, even with 1800 ft.lbs of torque.
My trailer is close at 16500# . but you are incorrect , it goes up any 7-8% grade like it isn't there. and at the speed limit.
