Save the Durango to Mazatlan ride for another time.
Here is an example from my diary of my ride from PV to Tucson last spring...PV to Mazatlan 450kms, 9hrs on the free road, you could shave 2 hours on the toll road? Mazatlan to Ciudad Obregon 600kms, free road to Cuilacan then toll road to Cd Obregon 9 hours. Obregon to Tucson, did not record the kms but took 10 hours. Did not cancel TVIP as I was going back down to Moctezuma.
So if this is your first ride in Mexico and you need to make distance stay on the toll roads and dont stop to take pictures The tolls do add up for example Culiacan to Obregon was 200 pesos.
The Las Parillas resturant in Obregon is worth a stop fast and good! Its right on the highway through town.
This little trip you are planning will just make you want to come back when you can do it justice. On your way back if you could take 1 or 2 days more the ride from Hermosillo to Moctezuma on Hwy 14 is a pleasure!
Then you ride 17 north to Agua Prieta turn in your TVIP and ride back to Phoenix
