I have made the I-40 trip from Amarillo to L.A. more times than I can count. Over the last 20 years I have done it towing a 34' Fifth Wheel. You will experience a couple of places with 5 or 6% grades that may require you to slow down and shift to a lower gear, but for the most part it is a scenic and good drive.
