If gas ends up at $5 a gallon I may be driving the 100 out there just to "save" fuel. Crazy times. Not likely, but an option for sure.

That would be a workout for it that's for sure.
I am willing to risk complete tranny failure to stay out of nw Texas
I won't be in a hurry to come home anyway.
I don't know if driving the 80 out there would save that much fuel ( I'm at 11-12 mpg) anyway.
If it doesn't save me on fuel cost, then I would rather tow it and wheel it a little harder..
It can handle it for sure but why push it? Unless of course NW Texas makes you want to kick a puppy.

I literally never consider the tranny on my Chevy trucks. It has a temp gauge and no matter how hard I have pushed them I have never even see the gauge move.
EGTs....I don't run a tuner so I don't consider those either. I will let it idle a bit if I have really, really been working it before I cut it off.
I used to have an Edge with attitude on my 03 Duramax and from watching those EGTs, it would get to idle temperature during most off ramps.

No offense, which literally means "I'm about to offend you," but I wouldn't have pegged you as a guy that knew to do that.
The little bit of OTR trucking experience I have makes me avoid hills like the plague while towing. Of course, I was shifting manually and my bonuses depended on my fuel economy, not my quality of life.
Lenny is right, NW Texas blows.

I have been towing across country doing this 4x4 thang for a long time.........
Mileage is important to me too, but I like to see the sights too.

May be the way I'm gonna have to go.
May not be a bad option!

I would laugh, but that's too close to the truth to be funny.
There needs to be a lot of nudity for me to be enticed ; )
Nudity of the female persuasion to be clear. Even then I would still take another route. That's pretty bad huh ; )
