    I have an Avalanche with a 5.3. Wondering how that would work going up the grade on I-10.

    Please try to drop your tranny's internals in the slow lane. I would hate to get a flat tire.

    I would think that would be short lived.
    I used to tow mine with my old truck, a 6.0 1500HD 2x and it did ok at best. And there are no major hills between Vegas and Havasu.
    When I could not make it up Windsor because of wheel slip, I went and got a 4x with the dmax.

    I would'nt worry so much on the pulling it up the grade as much as STOPPING down the grade IMO

    I don't have a Magic but I do have a 4,500 lb boat + tandem trailer. I tow it with my 5.3 Burb. Handling and breaking are no problem. Horsepower is a huge problem. I will be the 1st guy in line when (really IF) they offer the diesel Burb.
