That's kinda my point.
That hill was a spit in the wind. (I've done that hill dozens and dozens of times often dodging the test trucks. 3mpg at 35mph pulling a 28ft Bennington up that thing in a 5.3 avalanche ONCE. We won't be doing that again.)
We have some engineers here. What does a 12% grade add to the weight of the pull on the hitch? 199lbs, 1,000lbs, 2,000lb?
The 35mph was a spit in the wind.
So,
Now we know some of the parameters and they aren't exactly safety of welds and bolt grade based.
Can I, in the Midwest with no hope of a 12% grade confidently go what amount of pounds or percent over my tow capacity?
