Leaving Cortez Co. for destinations in the west, was just wondering if it is doable for us being what we are, a long bed Ford DRW towing a 14 ft. utility cargo trailer on a 42 inch extension which enables us good maneuverability for some very tight spots. Our truck camper is a Arctic Fox 992 on a 2012 Ford DRW 6.7 diesel.

Does the state restrict length? If not, I go. Did CA 4 once with a trailer. Interesting.

sure you can do it. I didn't enjoy myself driving up it in my toad however.bumpy

You should be OK however it will be a good pull with the load you have. The road was used originally for 18 wheelers hauling uranium ore so it is much wider than I expected and the switchbacks are not real tight.I came down it in my Jeep Cherokee so years ago.

Yeah, should be fine...I'm in a 10' Flatbed and while I wasn't towing at the time, I was surprised at just how easy it was compared to all the warnings.. just have to make one or two WIDE turns.. and since your there, don't forget the lookout point at the time. There's a dirt road, fairly nice at the time, although washboarded.. but slow n easy will get you there.. a little tight turning around but should be ok...Moki dugwayMuley PointGooseneck SPDo a Triple Crown and stay at Gooseneck for a night or two..

Muley Point is also a good free boondocking camping. The road to Muley point is somewhat washboard but worth the drive.

Decades ago it was a tough ride. Now you can take a bus pulling a trailer up the Moki, no problem.

Is this the road you want to drive?
I took it about 20 years ago in 40' motorhome.
Don't remember the road number, but remember that when I ask ranger before going there, she answer
"the road has no curbs, but that's a good thing becouse you'd scratch your motorhome on them"

This road has been greatly improved and widened and is nothing like the way it was 20 years ago. Even then it was not too bad. It was built to haul uranium ore so even then the only issue was two vehicles meeting on a sharp blind curve.

We pulled a 30' trailer down and had no problems except some wide turns because of rock over hang. The problem would be if you met some other trailer going the other way and someone had to back up. There are some places to pass and some that two rigs won't fit. Good luck!

No sweat, tour buses use it all the time. Just keep a eye out for another big rig going the other way. You'll probably have more of a problem if you take the road out to Muley point.

you are

I've been on the Moki Dugway several times and I've seen rigs longer than your tackle this road, just swing wide on the curves and take it slow.
