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.

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.

Muley Point is also a good free boondocking camping. The road to Muley point is somewhat washboard but worth the drive.

Yeah, should be fine...
I'm in a 10' Flatbed and while I wasn't towing at the time, I was surprised at just how easy it was compared to all the warnings.. just have to make one or two WIDE turns.. and since your there, don't forget the lookout point at the time. There's a dirt road, fairly nice at the time, although washboarded.. but slow n easy will get you there.. a little tight turning around but should be ok...

You should be OK however it will be a good pull with the load you have. The road was used originally for 18 wheelers hauling uranium ore so it is much wider than I expected and the switchbacks are not real tight.

I came down it in my Jeep Cherokee so years ago.

sure you can do it. I didn't enjoy myself driving up it in my toad however.

Does the state restrict length? If not, I go. Did CA 4 once with a trailer. Interesting.
