Up through Iowa and Nebraska, over the Rockies on I-70, then south through Utah's national parks before the final Mojave crossing. Same ~300-mile daily ceiling, same charge-stop discipline. Different rocks.

Vehicles wider than 7'10" or taller than 11'4" need an NPS escort through the historic 1.1-mile tunnel, and the 23' International is over the width limit. We're bypassing entirely via Hurricane and SR-9. Adds ~65 miles, removes a real risk.
A knife-edge ridge of road with thousand-foot drops on both sides and no shoulder. Stunning, terrifying, slow with a trailer. Don't stop on the road, use the marked pullouts only.
11,158 ft summit, then a long downgrade through Vail and Glenwood. Trailer-brake controller dialed in before the descent; charge to 90% at Frisco so we have headroom for the regen on the way down.
