We towed for years with a mini van with a 3.0Lin mountains. Now with a highlander 3.5L No real issues, A little slow down on steep grades.
Bigger engines are nice for mountains and if our primary camping area was the mountains, I would be thinking about a large v8. But we only camp where we travel through mountains maybe 5 to 10 trips a year. So the 3.5 V6 is just fine for us.
Downshifting going down mountains is you brake's friend.
