That is why I drive a Tin-top - the utility.

Envision a pallet laying there with 15 one hundred pound bags of plaster on it. BTDT - From Anchorage, Alaska through the Chugach Mountains to Soldotna - a 150 mile trip. I took my time. There were several stretchs of first gear creep in my '85 GL. Glad the weather was cool in those mountains.
