Like John A said gearing and slots has a lot to do with it at least in rolling hill country. I was pulling a bull rack that was geared high with a ten speed and 4 1/4 Cummins following a couple of other bull racks with the same load on a 55 MPH road. One of the other trucks had a Cummins 350 and 13 speed, Don't know what the other one had, but they pulled away from me because I didn't have any power in the top gear at 55 and dropping down a gear I couldn't do 55.
