Default 26,440#s up Monarch Pass, CO.

During recent 6000 mile trip from NC to Cheyenne to Gallup and home I picked up load of CO. red rock and hauled home. Weighed RV and stone in Booneville, MO. The entire load was 26,440#s. The 19.5s and this goat did a great job accending Monarch Pass. Truck photos show how 07.5 goat hauls the load. Total trip I averaged 9.5mpg. Exhaust brake did a marvelous job.








Below photo show steepness of Monarch Pass.

19.5s are Goodyear G657s 246x19.5s. Click here

We took Hwy 50 thru the pass.

The 5er is 37 feet.
