I towed my 9k'r through 10% grades up and down. twisty ,windy 2 lane road, on Friday.
There were corners on grades with max posted speed limits
of 35mph. Some places it was impossible to get a run at the hill due to either coming out of a corner or going into one ,at grade.
I enjoyed the experience with my EB and 6 speed cummins, we were able to maintain the speed limit (up or down grades). I am not sure, that the gassers would enjoy this drive pulling with any sort of heavy weight.
What I have read here so far, is that gas trucks tow better on long interstate grades,( when up to speed of course). I agree.
That situation does not apply where I live and camp. In our campground the majority of rigs are diesel.
