    I couldn't imagine towing a 4K lb. trailer up the Grapevine with my Tacoma(with tow package) in my wildest dreams. Let alone shaving 10K mi. off the brakes on the way down.

    Well I go up through the Whites in NH over to VT and I can tell you that is where a manual trans shines both up and down!

    if you're shaving 10K miles off your brakes then the trailer brakes are not properly set.

    Or you're hauling too fast to compensate with proper downshifting. You shouldn't be riding either set of brakes on any grade.
