What an awesome post! We are heading to CO for the summer and will go in through Raton. What I am worried about is US 160 from Walsenburg to Durango. We pull with a diesel F350 Duelly so from what I am seeing we should be OK. If we get stuck on Wolf Pass 10850 feet, I'll let you know. We are staying at Cedar Rail too. Safe travels and hopefully we will see some MOCers on the road!
You'll hit LaVita pass and Wolf Creek along 160. My Dealer is in Durango so I've been up and over that route quite a few times from Denver with both our new 3400 and our old 2955. We even pulled the boat behind the 2955 over Wolf Creek to get to Navaho Reservoir several times. Wolf Creek just doesn't live up to it's truck driver song anymore since they opened it up to 3 lanes and fixed some of the grades.

You'll be fine. We have the 6.0 single rear wheel 350. No engine brake, no chip, just Ford.
