Avoiding High Mountain areas

So far they're just mole hills, but I bet you could make something out of 'em...

 

Mountains on 95 ??? A few hills , no mountains. Try something a little more West of there. Maybe CO ID or ID or OR or MT. TN and KY AR also have some mountains.

 

To the OP...don't be afraid of mountains on 95. Be afraid of what you'll come across if you stop at South of the Border after dark. It's like people of walmart meets children of the corn mixed with a dash of crack head.

Did I mention tanned mountains in Florida? An don't be afraid of those either, unless she's married.

Sirscrapntruckalot - Well hello line, I do believe I've crossed you before.

 

North of the border driver here...Volvo I-shift in mountains, ice, snow...whatever, driven 'properly' you'll be fine. Take no notice of the Auto naysayers.

 

In my automatic I just put my foot on the pedal thingy and that’s makes the truck go

 

I found the opposite. Fine in mountains but my automated sucks when going slow and in tight spots. You can turn them into manual shift very easily by just fliping them into manual mode then shifting yourself. I drove 2 freightliners with automatic transmission and there auto's were better then my current 2018 KW T680 auto trans. I love the truck but this auto shift isnt to pleasing.

 

Want to avoid high mountains, drive the interstates.

I've never seen mountains on the interstate that would be a problem for any truck.

 

Mountains let him run I-80 from Reno to Cheyenne, Wy, especially the Echo junction then compare to mole hills back east.

 

Thinking of way back when in a b-model 187 hp and a quadraplex and grossing 140,000 in the big hills.
