Moki Dugway, can I do it?

[2manydogs]

Leaving Cortez Co. for destinations in the west, was just wondering if it is doable for us being what we are, a long bed Ford DRW towing a 14 ft. utility cargo trailer on a 42 inch extension which enables us good maneuverability for some very tight spots. Our truck camper is a Arctic Fox 992 on a 2012 Ford DRW 6.7 diesel.

you are

I've been on the Moki Dugway several times and I've seen rigs longer than your tackle this road, just swing wide on the curves and take it slow.

It's really pretty tame.

Thanks for all the great information and pics.
I’ll report back in a couple days on how it all went.

No sweat, tour buses use it all the time. Just keep a eye out for another big rig going the other way. You'll probably have more of a problem if you take the road out to Muley point.

We pulled a 30' trailer down and had no problems except some wide turns because of rock over hang. The problem would be if you met some other trailer going the other way and someone had to back up. There are some places to pass and some that two rigs won't fit. Good luck!

I took it about 20 years ago in 40' motorhome.
Don't remember the road number, but remember that when I ask ranger before going there, she answer
"the road has no curbs, but that's a good thing becouse you'd scratch your motorhome on them"

nice looking "gravel" road.
bumpy

This road has been greatly improved and widened and is nothing like the way it was 20 years ago. Even then it was not too bad. It was built to haul uranium ore so even then the only issue was two vehicles meeting on a sharp blind curve.

Decades ago it was a tough ride. Now you can take a bus pulling a trailer up the Moki, no problem.

Drove it last month with only the TV. As we were going up we met a duely with a 30 or 35 ft flatbed trailer
loaded with hay coming down.
It's a beautiful drive

I unhooked my Jeep to climb up with my 2004 F350 dually diesel hauling my Lance 1181. Without difficulty. Disappointed that I had to hitch a ride back down to fetch the Jeep. It would have followed behind effortlessly. Just do it.

I had to look up what it was, but this is what I found. Sounds like you should leave the camper and trailer at a campground or RV park.

The State of Utah recommends that only vehicles less than 28 feet and 10,000 pounds attempt to negotiate the dugway. The remainder of US-261 is paved.

Yep saw this and am asking here. My thoughts exactly but am on a one way trip here.
Truck is 26 feet and trailer is 19 foot and can easily fit in a 30 ft spot hehe!!

Thanks for your responses.

We went up the Dugway a few years ago. You’ll be fine, just take your time. Road is fairly wide and in good shape.
