Mexicali to tijuana toll road

Is this road good and how much is the toll? We're towing a 40' fiver and heading to #1 hwy to go south to loretto on the Baja. We traveled north on #1 last April but didn't use the toll road.
  • What is your tow vehicle? I hope the truck is not a duallie or a one ton. The tolls would be higher with a duallie. I have not heard of anyone having troubles entering Baja with a duallie but at some crossings they are not allowed.

  • So just a quick comment. Mexicali to Tijuana on Hwy 2 is in great shape as it should be as it is the only road that commercially connects Baja to Mainland Mexico. Yes it is a toll road but I don't think that should be a problem for you. The Rumurosa is a steep incline for about 6 miles but it is a divided 4 lane highway. Check your maps as you may want to travel Hwy 3 from Tecate down through the wine land of Valle de Guadalupe instead of going all the way over to Hwy 1 at Tijuana. There is substantial traffic in Ensenada so GPS can't give you accurate time distance information. Go slow enjoy the views and have fun!
  • From Mexicali to Tijuana, pickup with a two axle trailer or fifth wheel is 462 pesos total according to the SCT website below.
