V-Step-20 and trailer weight

My boat weighed in at 4700, I tow it with a 4x4 '98 Chevy 1500 Pick up, 5.0 liter V8 automatic. When I bought the boat I towed it from Kansas to Central VA. The truck did great out west but in West Virginia we had slow going through the mountains, top speed about 45 going up the main slopes. Coming down was the scary part, single axle w/o brakes, used low gear and lots of prayer
