Towing capacity
Have a 2014 1/2 ton GMC Sierra with towing capacity of 9900 lbs. Fifth wheel weight is 7600 lbs. Is that enough truck to go on passes in Colorado?

If you finally make it up the mountain, how are you going to control it going down the other side? I don't think you have enough brakes for the long steep down grades (with a sharp curve at the bottom) and no retarder system built into the transmission.

Being from Colorado we could smell an out of town rv miles away. Yes please ride the brakes all the way down....its called use your gears to keep you in check and only brake if you need too. Seen lots of smoke from rv travelers who didn't heed this....
