I guess my question have you towed with a 2010 or newer RAM and have the cruise drop off at 45-48?
A little research found that Chuck has a 2005 F350 with 6.0 Powerstroke. His trailer is a small 2006 Coachmen Chaparral 277DS.
Should pull good. He drove professionally, so should know how to get up and down mountain passes. If Chuck had this special rig, he could be half way to the top before he left the bottom!!

Yep that what I have, with new head bolts, new head gasket
and a upgraded tubo (nothing happened for me to change either
I just like to be ahead of the game). To the answer have a driven a
2011 RAM, my sons, it was a nice truck but we were not pulling
anything when I drove it over 2 passes on I90.
I am also not a speed freak and don't abuse my TV and I am not
saying any of you do by no means. I run along at between 60 and
65mph. Before this 2005 F350 I had a 1978 F350 dually with a 150K
When I bought it and close to 450K on it when I finally sold it.
BTW I go up most mountain passes at about 45 to 50 in most cases
and I go down the hill in the same speed and sometimes slower than
what I came up it.
