All the major named passes on both sides of the country at one time or another. And just about every grade here in PA. And boy do we have some good steep ones, with really annoying sharp turns or stoplights or both at the bottom. My favorites are on Rt. 8 running north of Pittsburg going to Butler, PA. Lots of nice stoplights that always flip to red on ya. Better make sure your brakes are in good shape running that way.
Steepest grade you ever pulled or went down.....

US22 between US220 and Pa 66 has some big ones also. There are a couple posted at 9% and there is that one in the construction on the temporary roadway that has to be at least that if not more. That could be about the worst road ever right now.

22% up the side of a mountain to a exploration camp with a stepdeck full of drums of fuel.

10% and it was today in arizona,scenery sure is pretty though.

Marked hills..... 6% to 8% range.
Who the heck knows what the unmarked ones were.
If you wanna talk in the pickup going 4xing some felt close to STRAIGHT up. -
For me it was the I-70 strecth headed West out of Denver towards Grand Junction. The % of incline/decline may not have been that impressed but those mountains went on forever! When the inclines came they lasted for miles and when the declines they also lasted for miles.
