The STEEPEST grades are NOT in the rockies. NO interstate can be steeper than 7%. Now get yourself on a local grade, they can be from 0-mid 20%! We have some of those here in the greater seattle area on local roads.
Well, we'll probably be visiting you guys too! We're going full time and probably going to haul butt across the country and start on the west coast (maybe with a couple of stops along the way).
Thanks for the other info about elevation. That was really good information that I didn't think about.
We'll definitely be buying a Diesel. This might spark a "whole nother" discussion, but I am torn between the quality of the GM body and the quality of the Cummmins engine in the Dodge RAM. My perception and personal experience says that GM makes a better truck, but a Cummins diesel can't be beat... I'm sure this has been argued ad nauseum on here, so I'm not really trying to start that discussion again. I just can't seem to stop typing as I'm thinking about this.
