Need help!!! No power ? ...

OK . So here's the deal. My 2000 7.3 ford f250 170k miles. Going from phx az to flagstaff az . For some reason I'm hitting about 40 miles per hour with the pedal all the way down going up a decent grade. Seems like something isn't giving the motor power. I'm pulling a 28 ft toy hauler pretty much empty . Under 5800 pounds . Any ideas what this could be . Also was get pretty close to the red on water temp gauge. Any suggestions?

Are you building boost? Turbo look ok? Then check wastegate. Good luck.
Overheating is another issue you could have a blown HG. Radiator reserve bubbling?
