I tow a 14K tall 5vr (13' 4") with an SRW truck. 5vr is a big wind sail but have had no issues in winds until they get above 40 MPH
You 5vr is listed as 12' 6" and with that 2013 2500 SRW shouldn't be an issue either.
BUT ----you stated you HAVE to be on schedule Sunday.
When we traveled full time and had a 'schedule' we always erred on the side of caution. How much is Fridays CG fee that you would forfeit?
Friday's CG fee is only $24 - small change in the big scheme of things. The world wouldn't to come to an end - and we could probably get back on schedule anyway since we only schedule about 4 hours of driving per day.
As Rusty mentioned having grown up in the "Twin Cities" (OK - he only mentioned Odessa), my young adult years were spent in Amarillo, and we all know how the wind blows in the panhandle!
I think we'll be prudent and leave as early as possible on Saturday. I have a good feel for the rig under way and, if I get uncomfortable, we'll pull off. We'll have plenty of time and, if we have to pull off, that's OK. We have the phone number for our stop-over in Sonora and the winds are forecast to slack off quite a bit in the evening. Tail winds aren't illegal, and neither is driving 55 MPH...
Thanks, everyone.
