Agree with this route. We did it in 2014, only in reverse. Drove up from Ft Stockton in Texas to Carlsbad on US285. Then up to Roswell and across US70 by Ruidoso and to Tularosa on US54. Drove south on US54/US70 to just below White Sands and continued on US70 to Las Cruses.
Was a great drive pulling our travel trailer.

You might consider US 70 to Ruidoso to Roswell and US 285 to Artesia and Carlsbad if you want to avoid El Paso. That route is fine for towing. And if you happen to be going to the Carlsbad KOA it is between Artesia and Carlsbad.
