Elevation and grade maps help.
The only really tough climb is I70 west of Denver, a real tough incline with elevation that kills about 40+ % of HP due to lack of O2, nothing but a supercharger or turbo can help in thin air. Most need to downshift to 2nd gear and 4K rpms to achieve a mere 50 mph up that mother of a mountain side. The engine will Roar! Ask me how I know....

Yeah that’s the only bit I’m worried about. I’m looping around south through Las Vegas to avoid the Sierras so that’s no biggie. Just a few hills until I hit the Rockies.
Just drove my Fiesta ST through Truckee, CA on I-80 and I was doing 80mph uphill with cruise control in 6th gear. My 4Runner will do maybe 55 up that climb lol
