Looks like you have way too much truck for your trailer!! 
Don't know your route to eastern Washington, but with that combo if it I90, and you go past vantage, the return up the Vantage to Rye Grass Flats should be no issue.
Very nice TV!!

We are headed over Stevens pass this trip. I've slugged my way up that grade out of Vantage before with this trailer and an 07 RAM 1500 with the Hemi. I'm fairly certain that there will be no more slugging up anything until we go to a bigger trailer. Headed into the Rockies in August and that will be the real test.

Vantage! The Widow Maker. I tow my BILs 15K 5th wheel from just beyone there with 6.0 3/4 Chevy when his very old high mile Cummins NV4500 lost
5th Gear.
I just took my time and truck did fine. I still don't like Vantage.

^^ Agree^^
That was a sarcastic remark, pointed at those who have too much trailer for their TV.
Which I believe is the case in this post.
