As 2gypsies said, you'll just have to keep an eye on the weather. I-40 can have some of the worst weather anywhere; high winds, blizzards, you name it. Winter travel is iffy anywhere in the southwest. Two years ago this month there was a horrible ice storm that went eastward along I-10 from AZ into TX. We got caught in it, wouldn't want to go through that again. My main priority would be to avoid the mountain areas of AZ (260). A few years ago we drove to Show Low for New Years and snow covered the road and temps were well below freezing. Not a place I would want to be towing. Keep an eye on the weather forcasts and operate accordingly.
