"Downhill drives with a lot of needed braking."
Ride those brakes a lot and they WILL get hot. Downshifting may indeed be in order. RE: Jerry's suggestions for cooling brakes. B'more shouldn't have hills steep enough to give that problem.
A 38 1 1/2 ton limiting factor would probably be more steering than brakes, anyway. I asked a buddy about his 37 Plymouth pickup decades ago. He said "it runs like a bat outta ell, but it still drives like a 37 Plymouth."
Use good common sense.
