Several have recommended driving "according to conditions." Could you provide some examples (Speeds and location types)?
Listen to your vehicle & be considerate of it. Read the road very carefully. Don't go ploughing through holes at speed. It is a whole lot better to be moving slowly, but moving, than broken down & not moving at all.
We have done the TOW twice. Some sections we were able to cruise along at near 50. Others had us down to 15mph so as not to break things.
There are plenty of people trying to do 2 months worth of the North in 1 month. They are the ones behind you pushing you to go faster. Let them go by. There is a chance that you will pass them, broken down because of their haste.
The roads of the North are not race tracks. If you don't slow down enough to look around you won't see what is standing there looking at you.
