Have Truck, Will Travel
Yep, there's lots of ways. But, they're all two lane, no shoulder, and have random, slow moving tractors on them. I20 (and I10) see most of the traffic because they are the best roads.
Of course US 66 is something everyone should do, it's a bit north of I20. Hwy 62, 82, and 84 all run from dry, open New Mexico through dry, open Texas. I would carry water and a blanket along those roads, they're empty between towns. Oh... and cell service is very spotty away from the Interstate and Route 66.
Hope that helps,
Happy Trails! N

On my way from Arizona to Dallas, my engine blew up in my sis' car in Van Horn, Texas Thanksgiving day a few years ago. I spent the day watching the Cowboys, eating bean dip & frito's, and waiting for Russ to drive 9 hrs to get me from Dallas. I helped the Motel 6 clerk fold towels & decorate a tree--as I was the only tenant. HA. It was a lovely drive....up to then. (Did I mention I used the bathtub for a cooler for my beer?).
Have a safe trip.

I love west Texas - I think it's a beautiful area. But, there's a LOT of it. There's a reason I-10 has an 80mph speed limit out there. The scenery is about the same from the interstate - it's just going by a lot faster.
