I'm posting this here because I'm planning my first x-country route, and I am really wishing that I had paid more attention to the "Grade" signs all those years of driving without a trailer, because now that I'll be pulling one - I'm having a hard time picturing what a "6% grade" is like.
I bought the mountain west directory, and the information is fantastic, and will mean a lot more after I go up and come down a few grades I'm sure - but can anyone give me some point of reference or feeling for ascents or descents I should consider avoiding?
I'm using a 5.3L 8 cycl 2010 Suburban to pull a small MPG183, so its hard to imagine I'd have too many problems - but I don't want to get over confident. Years ago I had a little Winnie Rialta and can remember just barely squeaking my way to the peak of a few passes...
Thanks!
