Good point point about many RV's driving it every day.
Besides my relative newness at towing, we were also swayed in our decision by arriving from the southwest and driving a Tacoma that does not let us zoom up anything steep, plus we have to work even harder to keep it from zooming down anything steep
I thought this description made a great point "Thousands of rigs use 550 all the time. Two identical rigs going up to Silverton: One driver terrified, fingers tightly wrapped around the steering wheel, beads of sweat on their forehead. The other driver relaxed, talking back and forth, enjoying the scenery, maybe sipping on a mug of coffee while cautiously working through all the tight turns and drop offs. Same rig. Same road. Different drivers."
