   I have a R-Pod 192 - currently towing with a 4Runner - rated to tow 5000 lbs, and with 278 torque,.Going up steep grades on the highway to the mountains I max out at about 40MPH.
I'm considering getting the Ford Ranger - max tow 7500, torque 310.
Is that enough to not be so sluggish on a steep highway grade? 
Do I really need to step up and get something like an F150 with 400 lb-ft torque?
