OP, I have a very similar rig and your targeted area is my home turf. You should have no issues whatsoever. Climbing or descending, I have never felt the need for more truck.
You guys have too much testosterone with your "our mountains are bigger than yours" banter. Yes, they are higher and longer out west, but generally not any steeper. In many ways, I find our mountains to be a tougher place to tow due to the tight quarters, extremely twisty roads causing low visibility of what's coming up (don't use BRP as your gauge, it is not representative of most of the smaller roads). I have been more relaxed generally during our time in the Rockies.
