I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler (so it's not even 10 years old).

If there is even a slight incline, and I put my foot on the floor, it will not hold 60mph.

Without an incline it will physically not go 80mph.

Should I get a ticket for going to slow? I thought that's what the slow lane is for.

You probably should get it looked at. Depending on what it is, it might be dangerous, or burning tons of gas.

Min speed limits are usually 45. These days, if I’m not in a hurry, I go slow (55-60) in the slow lane because CO2 (20-25% lower emissions than the normal 70MPH around here).

However, I also support ticketing for going below the rate of traffic in the fast lane. Examples: 64 in a 65, or even 70 in a 65, but only if there are a bunch of cars behind you, and a big gap in front.

Slow drivers usually have to keep right, even then they can only get tickets if they’re unreasonably obstructing the flow of traffic. Most places also have speed limits for vehicles towing trailers. I think it’s 55 where I live.

Where? That depends on the jurisdiction. That also may depend on what kind of road we are talking about.

There's nothing wrong with my Jeep, it just has the older V6 engine that is notorious for being underpowered.

Even my 1982 Datsun truck with a 1.6 L engine could (barely) hold 60 uphill.

I suppose your Jeep is somewhat heavier, but that still doesn't sound right.

It's a touch under 6,000lbs, so yes, heavier it is!
