The biggest hill climb is that 8 mile incline approaching the Virginia

You need a diesel Silverado. Don't need no steenking downshifting!

Of course, I'm pulling only about 11500 lbs. But, every year my wife seems to add
about 500lbs worth of 'stuff'. So next year I'll probably have an even dozen
thousand.

Is that basically the same as the GMC diesel? I have a neighbor with
a GMC diesel dually and he can pull a car carrier with about 4
vehicles on it.

Yup, same engine probably - Duramax 6.6L 400hp. The engine doesn't seem to notice
whether or not the trailer is there.

My Cummins is only 380HP. It might have a little more torque though.

Depends on year. My 2004 Chevy is 350 hp.
