In 2014 we pulled our 38' Alfa with our 2003 Ram dually to Alaska. No problems. But when you see signage for frost heaves or the shoulders of the roads are flagged for the heaves, SLOW DOWN, or guaranteed you will break something. If you are in a rush I suggest don't go. Just IMHO. The only precaution I did before we left was put wire cloth inside the grill to protect the coolers and radiator from gravel damage. Your rig will get filthy, don't spend valuable time shining stuff because the next day or two you will be dirty again!
