Echo that. Again, my dog of a truck, two tons, eighty ponies, can maintain highway speed (50-60 mph) up a mountain pass.

The only car I've ever had that couldn't maintain speed up a slope was a two liter Nissan Vanette with a carburetor. And even there, it could pull up a 7 degree slope. It was once past 20 degrees that it was unable to maintain forward momentum.

Nothing modern, with electronic ignition and injection, is anywhere near that bad. Not even with half the displacement of my old van.
