Indeed.

I suspect that you would have wanted to have your passenger get out and push
that rig up a mountain grade, even on I-80 with that Colorado and a Minuet.

It would have been a max throttle scream in 1st gear most of the way up I am
afraid. That engine just does not have enough power for pulling in the
mountains.
