Default Towing

I own a F150 4.6 liter 2003 4w drive. I just bought a 26ft travel trailer (GVW 4700). I towed the trailer to Luna Lake in Alpine AZ. No problem towing there and back home in Safford AZ. while leaving camp ground I had to pull the trailer up a very small (less then 100ft) but steep hill. The truck lost all RPM and would not pull the hill. I backed down, put it in low and had more speed approaching the hill and pulled it just fine. Do I have a problem?

You sure the tires weren't spinning? have you checked the transmission fluid? does it smell burnt? did you have the overdrive turned off?
