US 89 going north from Browning to St Mary's Glacier NP

I have an "X" on this road from some previous experience (?) which is my way of telling myself to NOT try and tow down this stretch. However, I can't remember what the deal was. Has anyone gone down...

US89 is an older road that crosses the foothills of the Rockies. I drove it at the end of the day in a car and felt it was tiring (though pretty). 464 stays further out on the plains and is straighter. North of St Marys 89 is relatively straight.

I haven't driven 49, but from detailed views on Google Maps it looks like it climbs up over a mountain ridge. So it should be scenic in a car, but may be scary in an RV with poor power to weight ratio.
