The trailer handled well, as I had the diesel I rented, barely noticed it was there. Weather was rainy in Seattle, insane. Made my blood pressure spike and tension was unbearable. So much I didn't mind going way out of my way for clear weather. Mountains were snowy, like I posted elsewhere. I moved pretty quickly, the truck liked higher speeds for better mileage. I used the miles per gallon as my guide more than the speedometer.
Lookout point was pretty slippery heading west, I was glad I had four wheel drive, wasn't too fun when the trailer was wagging the opposite dirt the truck was wagging. But I left at 4am so the roads hadn't been touched. Got to the pass, and the Idaho side was wet and clear from all the salt they out down. No worries after that.
I sure noticed the cars when I used the U-haul GMC trucks, not so much when they gave me a Ford. Those GMC trucks are too low, and the trailer drives you. No fun passing a truck while the trailer sways at 80mph. I had to accelerate to get it to stop. That made my heart pump a little faster.
I learned that the first time I got a car with a U-haul trailer. The one mentioned above, I was passing the truck when it swayed, the wind off the truck was pretty severe. I wasn't planning on going 90 with a car in the trailer! Other than that one time, the rest of the trip was hassle free. Both times I had away issues were with the GMC's.
The trailers are as bare as possible. They have surge brakes, and are short, so that causes sway right there. Proper hitch height helps mitigate that.
Lots of videos on that. You reallly can't adjust the load on the U haul but you could raise or lower the hitch.
A brick hauling a brick!
The 6.2 did a good job.
I used Enterprise Fleet for the diesel. Not the cheapest, but what a beast. I mentioned towing when talking to the regular Enterprise and they stopped the conversation and refered me to the fleet services.
