Liberty Harbor RV (Jersey City) to Cape Cod
I am looking for easiest Route with my Phaeton, towing. My best option looks to be Palisades Pkwy to 6 across the Bear Mountain Bridge and continue up 90 to I 84 to I 691 to I 91 to 2 to 395 to 195 in...

I-78W to the Garden State Parkway, to I-287 over the Tappan Zee. ($15 toll). From there you can stay on I-287 and pick up I-95. The construction is over in New Haven and the last few times I've been through there the traffic was reasonable.
In your OP you said you didn't want to do the TZ Bridge, but the route you've proposed is almost double the distance as the above. You'll end up spending that $15 in fuel avoiding the toll.
Another route is to take the TZ Bridge, I-684 to I-84, then I-691 to CT 66 to CT 9, and re-connect with I-95 in Old Lyme CT. This avoids the 2 lane portion of I-95 which is usually loaded with trucks trying to pass each other but governed at 65 MPH.
From there, I-95 through Providence and pick up I-194, MA 25 over the Bourne Bridge.
Getting ready to make the run tomorrow. I notice you refer to trucks governed to 65 mph. Not a real problem for me, we seldom exceed 63 MPH in the coach. Trucks may hate me :) GSP to TZ to 287 to 95 looks like our crawl. Fewer road changes and fewer miles. We drive in LA traffic, it takes a lot to really worry me. Besides, it's my wife on first shift. Wish us a pleasant drive, even if it is unlikely
