Traveling I-70 across Colorado with my 2015 Frontier towing 1500 pounds.
Auto trans is already locked out of OD.
There is usually so much traffic I just try to maintain a reasonable speed when climbing.
When we hit the down grades I stay right and down shift one gear.
Generally can run about 50 to 60 mph and don't have to overuse the brakes.
Couple years back a buddy was following with his Ram and similar trailer weight.
When we stopped he asked about my brakes. .
He was riding his brakes and was using his up pretty bad.
Had to explain use the transmission gearing & engine braking and don't be in hurry.
We took a 20 minute rest so his brakes cooled down.
