LAKNOX had great advise. If you don't have a tach in the truck, get one installed. I travelled the country including every major pass in the northern Rockies with a Toyota RV. 22Re engine and auto with a 6000 pound traveling weight. We made every pass but I had to treat the RV like it had a manual tranny. Keep your rpm's up. You may be going slower but you will be driving safer and it is easier on the truck.
Another RULE to live by: Go down every grade in one lower than you used to go up. Use the engine correctly and it will treat you well. Abuse the engine and expect to burn something up. If you don't know what using the engine correctly means, maybe you should take a cruise or tour bus.
