    To all the tundra folks in NC and Tennessee are. I just purchased a 17 TT weights 4500 dry weight. It’s 24 feet long and have a weight distribution hitch also. Me and the warren will be going to Gatlinburg in a 2 weeks. When y’all tow on I-26 and 40 do y’all use the s drive in tow mode or just tow mode? My truck info 6 inch lift, 295/65/20 tires, and timberns bump stops. Thanks for any suggestions.

    I tow a 24 center console boat from NE Tn. to the SC coast. Weight of the boat is about 4500 lbs also and just use tow mode. I go across Sam's gap in NC. on the way also, never had an issue yet. Good luck.

    I live close to I-26-I 85. Saulda grade is what Iam kinda worries about. Had diesel all my life so the mountains in a gas and with a load is very NEW to me. Where is Sam gap at?

    It's the long grade at the TN/NC border. I pass through the Saluda grade also. You won't be winning any races up either of tthese areas but, the Tundra does fine.
