82 is passable with a truck. It’s not as nice as 70 but it works assuming you’re not oversize. There’s a tunnel west of Cloudcroft that overheight doesn’t fit through.

 

Could you take 380 west to 54 south? I think that’s a better route than 82

 

82 has a 65' restriction IIRC. Google maps the intersection in Alamagordo looking east. There's a sign there I think.

FYI, I'm 76' and made it just fine. Good runnin

BTW, The length restriction doesn't show up in the atlas

 

I would never take a truck off that hill on Highway 82 from Cloudcroft to Alamogordo! The hill is a 4,315 elevation drop over the course of sixteen miles! Pick another route even if it takes you longer. I personally would take 285 down to Carlsbad and then hit 62/180 on into El Paso. Make sure you have everything you need before leaving Carlsbad because there ain't much else until you get to El Paso. Be advised of the high winds that occur from time to time on Guadalupe Pass, a fair amount of trucks have gotten blown over there.

 

You can’t move up to 380 through Lincoln and Capitan and hit 54 south out of Carrizozo? I’ve been on 54 all the way down through there and 380 is a cool drive as well.
