[QUOTE="Welderd, post: 665905, member: 144"] any HDT will do that no problem just about any MDT should do that as well depending on gearing and terrain nothing will do 75 up the mountains with a load - down is what you really should be concerned with. A bigger truck than what you need is always better so you don't overheat brakes. I like the 3126 CATs but it's a crap shoot like anything else. I'd expect any of them to go to 4-500k miles without much worry I've been told to stay away from 3116 CAT as it's just an underpowered version of the 3126 I've had 210-325 hp 3126's and all serve tow rig duty just fine for me in MO. There are a few hills and it can slow you but I can do 70-80 most of the time. Of the 3 I've had all have had 6spd trans of various type. All have big gaps somewhere and if you hit a hill at that speed it will suck, you just have to find out what that range is and stay away from it. [/QUOTE]
