What should i expect?
we just got a 2007 attitude 26 fsakg
here are the specs. we have had several problems towing our old 23 foot superlite and our truck just did not have enough power like it did when it was new. so i was just woundering if we should expect to go up the cajon pass any faster than 50mph.
<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" width="200"><tbody><tr><td>hitch lbs
840 </td> <td>axle lbs
6780 </td> <td>gvwr
11000
</td></tr></tbody></table>
also we are towing this with 100 gallons of water
it is a cc long bed 6.0. with 20x10 rims and 35 nitto terra grapplers

Also engage the tow/command drop it into 3rd, set the cruise at 45 to 50 and relax. Esp. if it's a hot day. Let the gearing do the work not your engine. Those 35's are really not helping when it comes to long steep grades.

If you don't plan on going larger than 35s, 4.10s or 4.30s would be your best bet. 4.56 would be too low unless you have at least 37s. 4.10s would provide the same overall ratio as stock tires with 3.73s. I have 4.30s with 35s and the low end is great, but it revs a little over 65mph. If you tow HEAVY a lot, 4.30s would be the way to go. If you don't want to spend $2k on gears and install, get smaller tires.
