The problem wasn't the engine. It was the shifting. The only reason it slowed so much at the end was that it was slogging along at about 2500 rpm. It would be nice if they would do two runs. One like they do now, and one using Mr. Truck's experience to go up the hill the best way the truck can. They all would be going up the hill at 65 mph, my guess.
No way a gas rig with less than 300 HP with that kind of weight is going to be going 65 MPH up Ike. NO WAY!
My 2011 Denali XL towing my 6500ish pound boat will drop all the way down to 2nd gear up Eisenhower. If I remember right, I was around 45 MPH or so at the top a few weeks ago.
None of the NA gassers are going to go 65.
