Mountain driving and towing with a gas class A

Just wondering what opinions are out there about towing 3000 lbs behind a newer gas class A motorhome. Mostly in the mountains. F53 with the 365 hp Ford motor. Also, are the brakes good enough ...

If it is a newer F-53, then by keeping the cruise control on will cause the transmission to downshift to maintain the set speed. This will apply going both up and down hill.
