I rented a U-haul truck to drive from Nashville to Bloomington. It was a Ford E350 chassis. It has 80 miles on it when I pulled of the lot. It was great to drive, even with 8,000 lbs. in the back. I really liked the tow/haul mode, that would downshift under braking. Made it very easy to stop.

I also rented a two axle trailer--the largest one without surge brakes--on another Nashville/Bloomington trip. It weight around 3,000 lbs. and I towed it with my F150. My 4.2L V6 was grossly underpowered for the hills in Kentucky/Northern Tennessee. I also really wish that trailer had brakes. It was a royal b**** to stop...
