I drive the i70 west regularly and you can tell the truck has to work going up hill but with OD off ect button pushed have no trouble keeping up with traffic and doing 65+. The key is using downhill momentum to go up and not get stuck behind slow pokes. I vé driven a friends 3rd Gen with a supercharger on I70 west and what a difference even with altitude the amount of power available at the pedal when going up steep inclines over passes was absolutely enjoyable.
