I saw your post soon after it came up last night and almost responded that the TrailerLife towing guide says you are OK. I decided to wait in case Ray did one of his well-researched and factual replies. I'm glad I waited. Assuming you haven't towed before I will add that getting a maxed-out rig down a mountain can be as big a concern as getting it up. You'll want to start down at low speed and in a low gear while using your brakes for short periods to keep it that way. Overheated brakes can become essentially useless and things get interesting once that happens. Also, many automatic transmissions will not downshift above a set speed to avoid transmission damage so you'll want to make your adjustments early.
