Hi, - We plan to drive from Moab to Ridgeway SP on the 191, 46, 90, 145 & 62 - Then from Ridgway to CO Springs on the 50, 285 & 9 - Or an Alternative: Ridgway SP to Lake Pueblo SP using 50 ...

For Ridgway to CS i think you'll want 24 instead of 9. That route isn't particularly challenging, except for Monarch Pass, which is a bit tough, imo. Does your truck tow your tt alright on long, steep grades?
Thanks for the advise on using the 24 instead of the 9!
She is OK so long as I manage to keep the revs up... but at 100K miles we want to take it easy on the old girl. She's in great condition, well serviced etc, and we're not overloaded and we do have a WDH.
Going down.. she has new break pads 10K ago so should be OK, but will need to keep an eye on that breaking & keep in a low gear... that old high revs vs breaks thing! :-)
In the longer term we'll be moving to a diesel truck so this will probably be the last LONG heavy duty trip she takes before we put her out to pasture :-)
Thanks!
