Iin a truck like that you probably don't want to take the Colorado-Utah route, especially this time of year. The OK-TX-NM-AZ is virtually the same distance and a lot flatter. I really have no idea how many miles per tank you can do in the truck, but it's pretty common to have a couple of hundred miles between gas stations, so you'll want to plan for that.

That route is damn boring, a whole lot of nothing to see besides the major cities. Lol..But hell make the drive, If i had to drive across country I would.

Im originally from Rochester NY. Watertown is shitty little town about 2 1/2 to 3 hrs north east of Rochester in the middle of nowhere. Ive driven from LA to Rochester about 6 times. Its 3 days if you stop off to sleep at night & It can be done in 2 days if you have multiple drivers taking shifts. However a one way flight to Syacuse NY is only 7 hrs. From there you would only be an hour drive to Watertown. Hope this helps!

I'm not too sure, but you may want to take the south route back, given the weather.
