My Chevy had a hard time pulling even if I had a 5mph wind even with my little boat.
Btw straight interstate @ 70 and no wind you can keep your mileage right around 20mpg with this truck, but who really does that. That was at 70 from Opelousas to I10

yeah, my tundra downshifts on overpasses as well. i can get 20 mpg at 60, but not 70, lol
