I know that Sonora Pass in the Sierra is not recommended for trailers -- I have driven it in a truck several times. But we'd like to boondock in the high country up there, since the snow is gone due to the drought.
So that is the question -- our trailer is very small and light. It has electric brakes. My Tacoma has had no trouble pulling the trailer up steep hills, and down has been no trouble -- just put it in low gear.
How small is "small" ? A 16 footer? or a 26 footer? I'd never try the top of the pass with a larger trailer! I've been over it many times in years past...in a POV, not an RV. Steep and tight curves at the top. I guess you could do it OK if you don't mind getting in the opposite lane on those tight curves. Not something I'd consider, although its been 12 years since I've been over that now.
