You should use your exhaust brake at all times, and you should turn your trailer brake controller up to ten! I am a retired RV transport driver. I have been on every road in this country and never had any brake problems. Use the transmission, engine brake and go slow.

We have towed our 5er with our F350 SRW and it’s ok with braking. We now pull with our RAM DRW, night and and day difference with down and dirty power and shifting! And exhaust brake is top of the diesel truck world, we typically have to accelerate down hills because the engine brake is so efficient!

Jackson is the town, Jackson hole is the entire valley.

Use tow/haul and exhaust mode at the same time. That really slows you down 👍🇺🇲

That view brings back memories. Back in 75 we drove from Cheyanne to Yellowstone. We saw the Tetons including Grand Teton. I think we went along side more than up into them.

The Tetons are beautiful

beautiful views, and great information. rule of thumb. go slower down hill, then you go uphill. i drive heavy stuff. in higher grades . good info, good video

Get a HDT like we did love it

Last time we were through there, we went into the park via the West Yellowstone gate on US 20, then turned South on US 191 running our 40ft Kountry Star plus a 20ft car trailer with toads. Never encountered any road restrictions, and the US20/191? is mostly a "water route" with no serious grades....... Getting ready to make that run again in a couple weeks, as we are flying to Seattle and picking up our 71 F250/390.... as always... enjoy the life... we do

Didn't hear about the engine or exhaust brake, different than compression braking. I've been over that pass twice with my 36ft 5th wheel and my 3/4 ton chevy Duramax, switch on the exhaust brake hardly have to use the truck brake.

Jackson Hole is located in the Northwest area of the U.S. State of Wyoming near the border with Idaho. Jackson Hole refers to the valley created between the Teton and Gros Ventre mountain ranges. The Northern part of Jackson Hole is primarily taken up by Grand Teton National Park.

Thank you for this!!! Headed that way next month and had never heard of this concern! Will be looking for a alternate route coming from i15 (entering from West)

Guess you’ve never done the Hogback in Utah? Teton Pass is a piece of cake.

Speaking as someone who once operated a tow truck on Teton pass. If you are smart…take an alternate route. I’ve seen many people lose their lives and it’s not worth the time you save.

Just returned from the same area and white knuckle is a good phrase. Fortunately the Arctic Fox has disc brakes, they really help reducing brake fade. My oil temp on my 6.7 power stroke reached 240 degrees on the up hill climb.

The truck needs the work out once in awhile. Do you have a descend mode? It keeps you at 20mph down hill.

We loved our trip there! So glad it was not during a holiday. But you just posted July 4th just now? So happy to see the views and the video. We loved the Huckleberry EVERYTHING! Outside the West gate of Yellowstone a small walk up shop has homemade Huckleberry Ice Cream❤️❤️ (GO VOLS, we are loving east TN❤️) I’m a buffet for biting bugs!!

Looks like fun! Just had one drink huh? Lol! It would be fun to party with you two. I have a master's in counseling and can relate to the frustrations. Hope to meet you two someday!

The family and I drove to California last summer with a 7000 pound travel trailer. Went through Yellowstone and then to jackson. We made a big error and didn't investigate how steep teton pass was. We made it maybe 65/70% up. Had to turn around. It was too much for the truck. Had just enough room to turn around. The descent was terrifying for my wife. Thank goodness for exhaust brake and trailer brakes. We won't ever go back. The wife has ptsd. 😢

Taking the Hoback through Alpine detours the Teton pass and Pine creek pass. Only adds 20-30 min…..well worth it.

You will learn to only go on the 31 once !!! Take the 26 from Swan Valley to Alpine and then over to Jackson.

My wife and I have been thru Jackson thru Grand Tetons in our class c Rv . Jackson Hole is the valley where the winter elk range is located. Thousands of elk come down out of the mountains to winter in Jackson Hole National Rlk Range and Refuge .

Late comment. You can’t beat those views. I am seriously jealous. I’m stuck here in flat Florida. Go “Team Mountains”

What a beautiful view only to be ruined by the sound of generators!

Not sure on the Ford but my GMC in tow haul mode you still need to turn on the engine/exhaust brake.

That is one pass I have avoided. Nice work.

We stayed at Henry’s State Park and the attendant advised us not to take it over to Jackson and we had a small Class C flat towing a small car. Your towing a trailer and a car…that was crazy. We went south then east on much better roads,

We took our F-250 (gasser) with our 5th wheel last year over the Teton Pass and for the first time in a long time, I too was "white knuckling" it. I didn't have so much of an issue going downhill since I put the trans. in manual and stayed in 2nd and 3rd gears. I also just had the brakes on the F-250 replaced with Akebono pads (not a sponsor). They are a superior brake pad and didn't have any "brake fade" on hard braking. It was going uphill that we had a bit of a struggle as we were getting passed by just about everyone but that's okay. We made in in/out of Jackson and had a great time while there.

Dornans Love the pizza and beer

Jackson Hole is the valley around Jackson inside the valley of the Tetons.

Very simple use a low enough gear auto or manual so the engine holds the vehicle speed,NOT using brakes excessively which heat up and fade. I would think crawling down any steep gradient and arriving safely at the bottom regardless who overtook you is a better option

We went to Yellowstone 19 years ago

Did you grow up in mesa? I did and graduated in’93 from mountain view

Were you in 2nd or 3rd gear going down?

Just curious - instead of having truck/jeep/5th wheel, why not just a nice class A diesel pusher towing the Jeep? This would seem to make more sense and I don’t recall ever seeing this question asked.

All the noise from the generators would have spoiled it for me.

I had to do it 8x on our trip through Yellowstone and Jackson hole. That's the worst I've seen in the USA by FAR. My trailer full is like 12k and I pull with a k3500 ccsb srw Duramax. It would regen every time through there and burned about 1/4 tank each pass. Forget ike, grapevine, and all the rest. This stretch is king!

Without a doubt, the Tetons are one of the most beautiful places in the United States.

Exhaust brake on full, tow/haul mode on, brake controller adjusted higher. Speed up hill should be speed you want going down hill.

In your defence, I'm sure you were carrying a full tank of water since you were boondocking for 5 nights. Does that make a difference driving up the pass?

I've never met a grade that required me to use my brakes much in my f350 with engine brake on and appropriate speed

I’m really Interested on how those smaller trailers/SUV’s made it to that location.

Thlught You are supposed to downshift and use your engine to slow you down. But I don't know what a brake controller is...

Sheree needs to see Tahoe. Then she'll become full mountain tribe.

I'm curious how that F150 with it's dual axle did, and the other much smaller rigs and trailers did getting to that beautiful spot. I'm a 23 1/2 silverado guy with. 5500 pound trailer.....trying to imagine what my journey up that pass would be like.

Highly encourage you take the long way from Idaho side to Jackson when hauling anything...Teton pass is just a mess waiting to happen!

Pass on that extremely crowded campsite.

Can't you mount your kayak at an angle?? It looks So unsafe to be hanging so low to the ground.

I don't even like to take my pickup truck on that pass. We'll go out of our way to go around through Alpine just to avoid it!

Jackson hole is the name of the valley Jackson is the name of the town

11:55 Congratulations on calling the town "Jackson". That's its name even though you see signs for Jackson Hole everywhere. The town is Jackson. The valley is Jackson Hole (originally Jackson's Hole but the U.S. govt. decided to change it).

Experienced drivers know to NEVER use the brakes going down mountains. You gear down!! Yes, even with an automatic transmission.

Stab braking

How come you dont ride together?

dont pump brakes or called fanning the brakes ,when u fan the brakes 4 a long time air getting in there causing the brake get hotter, its like a fire burns gets bigger with more air, so just hold a little pressure on the barke to the bottom of the hill..

Sorry but if you had your engine break on and were smoking your truck brakes, you probably have no business hauling that trailer. I rarely have to touch the brakes on my Ram. The engine brake does everything that needs to be done.
