2003 E 450 - VERY slow climbing hills..Normal or not?
Our Class C is fine on flat but get near a hill or climb into mountains and she drops into 1st gear and just chugs at about 35-40 miles an hour uphill. I know the ford forums say it is normal for this vehicle but I wanted to know if anyone else has the same issues? Thanks in advance for any advice!
How long is your Class C? Our 2001 29 ft Class C gets to 2nd gear on 6% inclines unless we are pulling a trailer in which case it can get down to 1st gear. There are a lot of factors including how many people and how much stuff you choose to bring along.

I have a class A Diesel
I have found that manually trying to get it up the hills it slows down to about 45 mph
When I keep the cruise control on it pulls up the hills nice at about 55+
