From PHX I would enter at Lukeville/Sonoyta. A very quiet and little used exit-entry portal. Especially on the return...never more than 5 minutes.

Heavily used for traffic going to Puerto Penasco OR points South. Road through the Indian reservation
(hwy 85) is slow..HWY 2 (Mexico) is way slower than 8 at that point....etc. it is a route I take sometimes for something different but takes at
least an hour longer.

I have taken both routes, and opted for route 5 in May. There was about 25 or miles of rough dirt road around the road construction, but otherwise
pretty good. A new section of pavement looked to be near completion at Chapala. It may be open now. I am still convinced it's a faster route, and
if you air down your tires, not quite so rough. Good luck!

I love Sonoyta, instant Mexico when you cross southbound. However going back there is an exception to the rule; weekends especially holiday ones the
Phoenix/Tucson crowds can be miles long. I spent (on a Saturday no less) 3 hours, 45 minutes in line some years back trying to beat the
Sunday-go-homers on a holiday weekend. Otherwise, I love the drive west of Sonoyta as I've spent some time out on the volcano fields to the south of
the highway. Slower than I-8 & 10, but not by much. Depends on how much of a hurry you're in.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!
86 - 45*

Does anybody know what the toll is on 2D between San Luis and Mexicali? How about if the OP is pulling a boat behind his rig?
Edit; I did look for a link, but got lost!

If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Around 30 pesos with the truck...Don't remember with the trailer...but probably double or a little less. Not much of a toll.

From San Luis
Tolls for any 4 axle rig - no trailer last April
#1 just west of San Luis = 13p
#2 Hwy 5/2D = 24p that is just south of Mexicali
If I remember correctly double with the trailer?
We never use 2 all the way to Mexicali to avoid the snarling traffic.
The price has been drifting up each 6 months. Figure about 1 peso every 6 months
