...a trailer up the mountain? This was at 5000foot elevation so I don't think it would still be making full 230hp and they claim it wont go faster then about 30-40mph up any hills up there.


I am in washington state where the passes are that go to eastern washington.
Why is this anyway its the slt tow package dakota but its geared 3.55 gears and nv3500 trans and its 4wd.

Why is this?
What would need to be upgraded to improve this?
Trailer weighs about 5000 something and max towing is 5500.
Oh yea and this was same engine offerd in the ram 1500 with the nv4500 thats geared lower and has 3.73 rear axle standard.
max torque 295 isnt until 3200rpm
