Do NOT attempt to take the 152 with your rig. We just drove it again about a month ago. Continue down I 25 to Hatch to 26 and connect with the 180 at that point. The drive over the Mimbres mountains is spectactular but that road will NOT accommodate a rig the size of yours.
There are numerous switchbacks posted at 15 to 25 and they are not kidding. There are 6 that are posted at 10 mph and there is NO way you will be able to keep your rig from going well over the double yellow line (repeatedly). :E There are a couple of low bridges, around 12' 6" (as I recall), which could be just another reason to not attempt this road.
Once you get to Silver City unhook and drive your truck back over the 152, it is worth your time if you like spectacular roads. Take this drive in your truck and then tell me I'm wrong... you won't. :B
