40 mph uphill? Other Armada or Titan TVs?
I’ve been trolling this site for a year. There’s so much info I that haven’t needed to ask a question until now! Tv: 2006 Armada LE 5.6L DOHC V8 with factory tow package. Tow rating 9000lbs. 305...

EDIT, ps, sorry 'dog, I usually agree with you, but I have to disagree with your comment that dropping a gear is a crutch. That is just not true. The reason we have a multiple speed transmission is so that we can "drop a gear" when needed to make more torque avail to pull a load. Try to tell a truck driver with an 18 speed transmission that dropping a gear is a crutch. He is going to look at you like you are nuts.
No worries. Of course I was refering standard automotive trannys with 5-6 gears. The big rigs with 18 speeds are a totally different animal, though I suspect that they are geared lower than what the OP has.... I was not aware of just how tall that the Armads is geared... Those are not towing gears... And since it appears that there is not a drop in solution, it is not a serious TV either. The OP wanted to know what he could do about it.
The answer appears to be not much other than get a vehicle more suited to what he wants it to do.
You go around once in life. If you don't like something..... Do something about it. That has always been my motto. From better TT tires to modifying my TTs cold weather capabilities... etc. I just don't like to take it cannot be done for an answer.
To the OP.... You have seen the options there are by now. Do what makes you happy.
