I used to tow a 31' TT (7,200 loaded)with a 3.0 Diesel in a 2014 Ram Eco Diesel. It did a good job though going up 7% the sweet spot was 50mph.
Not sure of HP of said motor. Assuming 200-225 as many are rated at. You need 135 HP to motor at 60mph on a level, then an additional 40hp per 1%increase in road grade. So frankly, depending upon hearing 50mph on a 7%grade is about as fast as one should expect to be at with said motor.
