Well It Impressed Me Again

[Dr. Zaius]

This thing tows so well.

It towed this up and down the mountains of eastern western NC effortlessly.

And it also towed this up and down the mountains of eastern western NC effortlessly.

60 mph up the mountain with no sweat.

It could have gone faster but I kept it civil.

Dang I like this truck.

Does the U-Haul trailer have surge brakes? I don't have a brake controller and wondered what it is like to tow with them.

Never thought a 4 banger in a truck could have so much respect. Its amazing really. The Ecoboost line of engines changed the way Americans look at turbo engines.

The ones at uhaul in our town are hydraulic surge brakes. I'm pretty sure that's the case nationwide.

Haven't towed a car with their trailers, just checked 'em out when renting a pickup from them. They had a 4-flat connector for lights, hydraulic brakes (I think just the two front wheels of the trailer had brakes).

Yes it does.

And the cost is a no-brainer.

A tow dolly is $45 for 1 day and the auto hauler is $55 for one day.

Worked great for my trip.

There are mountains in eastern NC? Where?

I say the exact same thing every time I finish towing our boat. It truly is amazing.

About what was the combine weight of tue trailer and jeep? With my 280ZX it was roughly 5500 combine and the Ranger did it just fine.

Yes they have surge. I used it to tow a porsche boxster (so 5200lbs total)? Total breeze, up to 75mph no issue in flat land.

Actually that would be Western NC. The eastern portion has lots of beaches.

Edited the original.

Apparently my dyslexia applies to geography some times as well as to numbers ?

Trailer 2300 and Jeep approximately 3300 so around 5600 total.

I tow my little teardrop over those mtns with some frequency. never a problem. I'm not excited about the lane closures on I-40 that started up recently. I may avoid that area altogether when I am pulling a trailer. May go north on 26 to get to TN instead.

I towed my sport car 4hrs, first time I ever tow about 5,000lbs.
No issues, I, also, was amazed.
Uhaul, once at destination someone notice a tire was about to blow. Their service was amazing.

Every time I think I will be taxing this truck's abilities, it impresses me.

It still astounds me what a "little 4 banger" can do.....

A lot of it is with the combination of the turbocharger and the 10 speed transmission. Altogether it is a verry good combination!!
