RE: Descending steep grades
Something not mentioned that is just as important. Weight distribution. Make sure your wieght is distributed evenly on all axles. too much in the back, it will jack-knife, too much in the front, you will be starring at your tail lights. -- Same thing goes for roads and mountains with snow and ice. I can't tell you how many times that when driving in ice conditions this has saved my bacon because I took the time to scale the load and ensure the weight was distributed evenly on loads that would not normally have to be scale when running in adverse condition.

I would think gravel would be very similar, steep grade or not.
