Good lord, makes me feel like a champ. I climb hills all over eastern PA. 5 10 15 20mph. Two lane, 4 lane 6 lane. Dont matter, this load has to get down the road somehow.
I drive a mack by the way. So there are no good hills ill blow up loaded. Macks climb slow and strong.
Just teasing with you driver. 4 pages to avoid a #### hill. Lol. -
So you saying going that slow is normal?! I have a volvo..my last one climbed way fasterx1Heavy Thanks this.

No two trucks are ever going to perform the same. Ever.
Your truck could be fine, its just the way it pulls.
I go that slow everyday. Literally, im climbing some real bitxhes of hills with half a load. Down to 25mph we go. Do that for 3 or 4 miles on a two lane, traffic forming behind you with no where to go. Then go down the other side still at 25 mph because you have a hard right turn to your pick up at the bottom of a two mile hill.
Going slow is what we do driver, hauling 80k over any hill or mountain isnt easy. Just deal with it and enjoy the ride.
Now if your truck starts overheating and completely failing. Then you have a "real" issue. -
I get 20 plus depends on the hill, there aren't many that take it below 20.
good luckJerms513 Thanks this.
