[QUOTE="Doug, post: 5172029, member: 8576"] take the tow vehicle OUT of overdrive. Don't go over 55mph. Avoid sudden braking and lane changes. STAY IN THE SLOW LANE! Make sure the car is strapped down well. Two straps on the rear axle, one strap on each front control arm. Check air pressure in the tires of the trailer. Uhaul (at least around here) is bad about having different pressures in tires on their trailers. if the trailer starts swaying bad - tap the trailer brakes switch. if its a hydraulic inertia braking system - then speed up until it calms down. I tow two four wheelers and a trailer (~2300lbs) plus 3-5 on a frequent basis. Once, i towed both wheelers, and 7 people on a 5 hour trip to North Carolina in my 4.6L Expedition :) Towing is difficult, just give yourself lots of room. Don't let traffic hassle you, and don't get in a rush to get there and you'll be fine. Also, remember to anticipate stuff. [/QUOTE]
