Question is this: we plan on doing some camping soon at one (or several) of the mountain reservoirs. This means up/down passes etc. I've towed in CO for years, so I know HOW to drive in the mountains, I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with this rig specifically--towing about 4000lbs. No tranny temp gauge, no oil temp gauge etc. worries me a bit as I've always had things to monitor before.

Thanks!
