I don't recommend towing your trailer in the middle of winter. I drove threw in dec. & jan. and it was -50. I had no problem with fuel or anti-freeze, but that cold of air blowing across the calipers made it so stiff the first time you hit the brakes and nothing. So I would avoid those months.

If your looking for a good month to drive it with less holiday traffic. Try Oct. or April ,cooler temps. for pulling those long mountain passes is easier on the tranny & engine. I recommend you get a exhaust brake.

I will look into the exhause brake, thanks. I like the idea of cooler temps. Since you have done this a few times, what are the temps like in May?

It will most likely be 50 to 60 degrees. Although I've seen 55 this last March and 17 degrees in April, but the road's we're dry and clear in the Yukon.
