Not sure what to say about this one. Also an interesting comment about the rear coil springs. Link

transamz9,
DUH! Having spent so many trips at the proving grounds etc in my nearly 40 years of pickups, vans, and SUV hands on engineering, Mr. transamz9 doesn't appear to have a clue as to what actually propels a load or any load up an incline and the facts of doing so. Simply stated, 20,000 lbs being pulled up a 6% grade for instance takes exactly the same delivered twisting force to the drive wheels contact with the road surface to do so no matter which vehicle is doing the pulling and we are talking a vehicle here.
Doesn't matter if the load ascending is being pushed or pulled, it's the exact same force required to do so and it is the only thing that is moving the load, period! Want to ascend faster? Apply more force and the load will move at a higher velocity! A fact you certainly can not dispute!
Either the required delivered force is there or it's not! Or, do you really think you know more than the very long established, proven, and published Laws of Physics? Good luck with proving it wrong!!!
