The most important thing to know when towing in the mountains is to know how to select YOUR gear for pulling. Keep your rpm's up going up hill. Know what your redline is and don't be afraid to wind up the engine. On the way down the grades, use either the gear you would go up or one lower. if your speed builds up, use the brake for a short period and then downshift to keep the speed from building again. Don;t be afraid to go down a grade in a low gear. If you are passing semis on the way down, SLOW DOWN.
