Has anyone actually tried towing a uhaul behind their 4cyl?

If you are not set up for electric brakes, see if they have any trailers with surge brakes. I've locked up all four wheels,twice,on panic stops with the boat trailer.

 

What about renting a Uhaul truck and towing your truck behind that?

 

Stay out of overdrive and pay attention. You'll be fine.

Toyota rates and warranties the trucks. They wouldn't rate it to tow something they were afraid would break it.

 

Well that would just come into the cost of 2200+ for the cross country move rates by them. That's the reason for trying to save some coin
