Wow!  That's some hill.   A 75% grade is a a 67.5 degree climb!  I can't even imagine an SUV doing that without running a risk of flipping over...

Hey Aerowhatt, Do you know how does slope relate to degrees? From what I have read, it is the ratio of rise over run in which case 45 degrees would be 100%....
