So many ways it could be from experience. Junk in the gas tank that moves to the pickup tube when going up hill. The traction control thinking the strain going up hill is making vehicle slip so it is engaging brakes. Transmission at tilt and fluid low is putting it in wrong gear. Then the various electrical problems that just won't show a code and drive you crazy is just a few of the ideas I've got.
