Route 85 or 83 ND to Phoenix

[Sask Farm]

Really from east Saskatchewan, going to Mesa soon will go threw Albuquerque Looking for opinions on highway 83 vs 85. Would like to avoid mountain driving. 83 doesn’t have interstates but is flat open land on a 2 lane better than interstate and mts with chance of more snow? Went I15 last year and lots of snow and cold for salt lake to Canada pretty much going and returning. Pulling a 43ft fifthwheel as well. Thanks in advance!

Thanks

Your question wasn't lost, it was read and ignored, probably because you're asking "anyone driven both?". Apparently, the answer is, no one has driven both.
Why not either ask what route is the flattest/easiest from wherever you're starting from, to Phoenix via Albuquerque? Or, just use your GPS to select a route, and see whether it works for you? Weather, this time of year, matters too.
Where's your starting point? What are you driving/pulling? What's your concern/preference about hills, versus small towns/flats, versus 2 lane roadways?
If it's not an interstate through the northernmost parts of that trip, it's probably a 2 lane roadway, but that isn't set in stone, either.
