I did the exact same drive a few months ago, except for stopping over in NYC and in a 16' truck. The NYC area is very confusing for trucks. No trucks on anything called a Parkway, the Lincoln Tunnel is okay, but not the Holland or Battery, etc.
The cross-bonx is usually a bit of a mess around the GW bridge, but getting away from the city shouldn't be too bad if you're early enough in the afternoon. It's still the route I take.
An EZpass wouldn't help, as truck are tolled very differently (and very expensively) compared to cars. The 10-12' trucks with single rear wheels are tolled as cars, incidentally.
Most GPS units have a truck option these days, which is pretty good about keeping you on the legal roads. Google maps, unfortunatly, does not.
Keep on truckin'! (sorry, had to say it!)
