I’d be more worried about the Uhaul equipment. My experience is that a lot of their trailers should’ve been scrapped back in the 90’s.
The one car hauler I rented had holes rusted in the deck. Had another have a ramp slide out on the highway and drag it along.

@mtofell I also updated my profile to correctly portray my ride. Thanks for the tip.
Hi Dinks, Welcome to site and I just wanted to say I took my 4x2 2013 Ram Bighorn from NY to Houston pulling my 6x12 enclosed trailer with 5000 pounds! Furniture,Harley,tools,loaded to the gills! with 3 people also and a loaded bed! I would say it was a BREEZE! Not any problems at all! It took us 2- 12hr drives to get there. Try to put some weight in the truck bed! It helps to distribute the weight evenly for a smoothe ride! Good luck and check tire pressure at each stop especially trailer tires!IMG_3889.JPG

Also keep spare tire for trailer and floor jack close for easy access! Touch tire threads at each fill up to see if they are hot...If they are, they need air...The RAMS mirrors are fine for a 6x12 trailer.

Thanks for the tips @Silvacane. This whole thread is really just me being paranoid and reinforcing what I already thought from my research. I’m going to hope they have spares available. Definitely will bring my tools and jacks though just as C-Y-A

It will tow like its not there but gas mileage will drop have the funds to put a lot of extra gas in , i am not sure how the uhaul will feel haven't pulled one in a while but my 10x12 i have put 1600 lbs in it and goes like nothing is there , stopping takes a little longer and used a ton of gas good luck

Does that have either a level or a lift?

All went well no problems at all besides meeting some seriously bumpy roads. Another experience under the belt.
