Trucks tow 7,000 lbs up one of the steepest and highest American Highways. From Dillion, Colorado to the Eisenhower Tunnel U.S. I-70 climbs 8 miles to a maximum elevation of 11,158 feet or 3,401 meters. That's enough elevation and grade to test the most powerful of pickups.
Pretty impressed with that little 2.7 L turbo in the F150 kicking all of the big V8's butts.
