Normally I have no problems pulling with mine but even with the 4.10s and stock size tires on the dually, it ran out of throttle doing 65 MPH in 4th going up a 5% 7 mile long grade with an outside temp of 85ｰ. That was one time I sweated the weigh stations because I hadn't weighed the truck before leaving.
