285 from I-40

[sayoung]

Heading to NM in June and the trip planner shows getting off I40 taking 285 to Santa Fe. Is this an OK route for towing 5er comeing from the east
TV is one ton duramax with exhaust brake & 35 ft 5er or should we take the long way & go on to Albuquerque then north on I-25 ?

Thanks, not much mountain experience ,only the Kiamichis in Ok & Ouachitas & Ozarks. On google earth didnt look bad but can be deceiving.

285 is practically flat. You'll have no issues.

Thanks, thinking of going to Palo Duro for a short stay then head on to NM.
