Elevation test for the 3.5
Ran the truck up to Mt. Evans last week.
The parking lot is 14130 ft elevation.
The engine never broke 1800rpm the whole way up.

I would love to drive up there! I'll be in Denver in October for a high school reunion but I think it will be closed for the season by then.

A bit, but not as bad as I thought. Home elevation is 4400 ft.
I did manage to hike from my sister's cabin at 10,000 ft to the peak of Sugarloaf 12,400 ft (3.6 miles, one way).

I could do the 3.6 miles easy cheesy but I'm afraid that elevation and the climb would do me in! I climbed a hill in the Tetons and my lungs were screaming.
