Jerry - we've done the Rockies thing with our Challenger V10. No problems. Even on some the steepest grades - no problems. You just need to take your time and understand the power bands. Pulling the steep grades from Buffalo to Ten Sleep the grade seemed to gone on and on. Best power band was at about 4,000 RPMs. No problem.
Now the question of going down the grade. Make sure you have a good supplemental brake system and use the Tow/Haul mode. The grade down into Ten Sleep is as steep as the grade going up to the pass from Buffalo but with lots of switch backs. Take your time, don't ride the brakes, use Tow/Haul and oh yes - enjoy the view it is SPECTACULAR!!
