I always go through Villahermosa, then take MX-180 through Vera Cruz, Tampico, and cross at Los Indios. No mountains, but road is bad in a few places, See my last trip in March from this link.
Coastal Route
The coastal route, also known as the Gulf Coast Highway 180 is the shortest and fastest way to Texas every time. I once made it from Catemaco to Brownsville, by SUV, in a little more than 14 hours.
Just got done reading your post Keelhauler. It seems that unless there is some compelling reason to go a different route, this is the way we are looking to go. To your knowledge, has there been any real problems along this route in the last few months (especially Tamaulipas). You mention going around one city in the post, I will have to look at that more closely. Is this route pretty well signed? I'm not sure we still have a functioning GPS after a year in Belize.
Thanks,
Tim
