Ah, yes....Cuesta on 101 north of San Luis Obispo is another one of those "terrors."

We pull a 3 horse slant load with our 03 F350 CC with the 6.0 Diesel and
Torqshift  6 speed Automatic Tranny.  Just leaving our property involves a
6 mile 3000' foot grade that hits 14% in places.  The tow /haul feature of
the tranny locks the torq converter and makes it hold gears just like a
manual tranny.  Grades such as the Grapevine on I5, I80 from Donner Summit
into Truckee, Questa  on 101 and innumerable 2 lane mt roads have just
never been a issues in over 80,000 miles of driving and towing our rig.
