Any more than a slight grade and it’ll start losing speed and then shift again and we’ll be running around 4500-5000rpm which gets me a take-your-foot-off-the-gas-before-the-engine-blows look from my wife.

You guys are quick! You’re correct, the truck is 2.7L, not 2.4. The TT is 4300 empty, so loaded (we’re not running with a tank of water or anything crazy) I’m guessing 5-5.5k. 2 Bikes in the bed of the truck. I know stuff adds up and I haven’t been through the scales but there’s no way it’s over 5500. On flat ground the engine runs around 2400rpm @68mph. I don’t go faster than that. On uphills it’ll shift once to about 3500rpm which if it’s slight it’ll maintain speed. Any more than a slight grade and it’ll start losing speed and then shift again and we’ll be running around 4500-5000rpm which gets me a take-your-foot-off-the-gas-before-the-engine-blows look from my wife. Most of the hills we encountered were no more than a few miles long max so it definitely didn’t take anywhere near 10-15 min.
