I have driven Hiway 14A going both ways on numerous occasions with a variety of vehicles and trailers. 14A (not to be confused with 14) is steep and crooked. I have gone over 14A with everything from a Chevy Caprice pulling a 2000 pound pop up to a 6000 pound toyota motorhome with a 4 cyl, 120 hp engine.
If you go up 14A, make sure that you shift down before your rpm's drop, don't wait for the tranny to drop gears. Coming down, keep downshifting to use the engine to keep your speeds down. Come down in at least one gear less than you used going up. If you are using your brakes a lot, slow way down and get things under control. If you don't have a tach, I suggest getting one.
