- Dick_AExplorerMoved from General RV'ing forum.
- Kit_CarsonExplorerDid it just a couple weeks ago. Use lower gears for going downhill and keep off the brake. Big trucks usually turn on 4 way flashers and move over to climbing lane to stay out of the way. Stop at Ferguson's at St. Joe for a good cup of coffee and cobbler. Enjoy!!!
- hotpepperkidExplorer65 Branson to Little Rock is a great road compared to some I have been on. Like some of the lettered roads in MO like D off of 67 to Lake Wappapello
- sremsingExplorerHwy 65 will be fine. There are some passing lanes in case you get stuck behind a logging truck. It's a good highway with a few hills.
- AmericalVetteExplorerYou should have no problem at all. Many years ago, 65 from Springfield MO, to Branson, and then into Arkansas was two lane. You will find many sections with extra lanes. 65 will take you to I-40 at Conway.
- Redcatcher70ExplorerI see them almost every day 3/4 of the year and have been behind many up and down Highway 65, never have seen a problem. There are plenty of passing lanes, so taking your time of you feel the need is not a problem.
- fj12ryderExplorer IIIYou shouldn't have any issues. It's 4 lane part of the way.
- BB_TXNomadI towed our 35' 5er from north of Harrison to near I-40 using US 65 last summer. No problem.
