I towed my Arctic Fox 22H over lookout pass in the summer of 2014 with my 07 2500HD, I have also towed through the Blue Mts of Oregon between Pendleton and Ontario and over the coast range between Portland and Astoria. The TT tips the scales at just under 6200 lbs loaded for camping including water. 2I use Tow/Haul mode in Drive. The transmission does a good job of finding the right gear. On the flat it can easily stay in 6th with occasional shifts to 5th. I have been able to pull most hill in 4th gear letting the revs go up between 3000 and 4000. Once in that zone the powertrain is in its sweet spot and often I can actually accelerate a bit. Yes the MPG sucks and my 07 has the smaller 26gal tank so between the two I am stopping around 200mi or less for fuel. Which equates to somewhere around 9-10MPG at best. Going to the coast from Portland I burn about 1/2 a tank in 100 or so mi.

thank you, that is exactly the kind of thing I need to know!
