Colorado Millon Dallor Hwy

We will be going from Texas to Ouray Co in a couple of weeks. 40 foot diesel pusher pulling a Jeep. I have seen mixed reviews about driving this combo on Hwy 550. I was a over the road truck driver at one point in my life and drive fire trucks for a living now. How bad is this road, something I need to avoid or just take it slow? What other routes are there to get to Ouray?

Just take it easy. North bound has some switch backs and steep down grade after the summit. Drops pretty quick into Ouray.
