Assuming your radiator is in good condition and there isn't anything blocking air flow, I'd also suspect bad fan clutch. However, please verify like I did. Here's my write-up.

Just throwing it out there.... Considering the relatively low speed mentioned while going up hill and since the effectiveness of the fan is in question, do you have a fan shroud installed?

+1.
The shroud is essential to proper airflow.
