If memory serves me correctly, the road from Cortez to Ridgeway is not a walk in the park. It is steep with lots of switchbacks and climbs to over 11,000 feet at Lizard-head Pass. Also, a FW tows differently then a conventional TT. FW's tend to "cheat" the corners (so swing them wide)and they are slower to react to steering inputs when backing. I recommend you take the rig to an empty parking lot and play with it a little before you hit the road. Good luck on your adventure!
Not as curvy as 550 north of Silverton and, IIRC, not as steep in most places. 550 is just as high in the passes, so that's a wash, IMO.
