Bighorns Highway 16

OK, folks. I do believe I am overthinking this a bit, but I wanted some extra opinion and I know where to find it. Been quite confident all week on our trip across country from Florida to Yellowstone. We are in Custer, SD and tomorrow make the trek to Yellowstone.

Shooting for Highway 16 through the Bighorns, my TV is 2006 Dodge Ram 2500, 5.9 CTD. Towing a 2015 FR Salem 26TBUD. The wife and I. TT at roughly 7500 lbs. Everything tells me I am fine regarding the truck/trailer/route combo.

Reading online too much has the Florida guy overthinking it, I believe. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

    You'll be fine, it was the only place I've run out of HP though, had the pedal at the firewall and she wasn't doing more than 50, not sure if the woman in the little BMW convertible was amused or pissed off. Everywhere else we've gone I've been able to keep to within a few MPH of the speed limit or the corner caution speed.
