Towing a small Uhaul?

[KTM753]

Any pictures of the restored RER?

My brothers and I spent a lot of time on several mowing our acreage growing up. Good memories.

Truck is more than qualified to yank that around.

Tow/haul mode is generally recommended for any stop and go or when elevation changes are happening frequently. I usually just leave it in tow haul the entire time(towing) regardless just because I simply set and forget it.

Mower is loaded up and strapped down. Only issue was having to work bent over to secure it.

The trip was pretty uneventful. Ended up with the mower, a 20gal compressor, ramps, two chainsaws and a bunch of stuff my DW put in there. Bed was fully loaded and 3 people plus a small dog in the cab. Never really felt like it was there. Mileage was 19mpg.

My son just bought his first house and I restored a Snapper RER for him. He'll be the third generation Snapper owner in the family.

So to my question. I'm going to use a Uhaul 4x8 to carry it and a 20gal compressor from AL to GA. Trailer is 850, mower 314, compressor around 100 so about 1260 all in. trailer is 4 ft high so I don't think it will be above the tailgate.

There will also be about 100 pounds in the bed.

I'm new to the F150 (last one I owned was in 1996). Just moved from a Tundra and 2500hd. My truck has the 5.0, tow package, 7050 GVW pakcage.

So would you use tow haul for a trailer like this?

I regurarily pull a 20' long flatbed trailer with a 2.7T mini excavator on it. Around 10K lbs and no problems at all. On a recent 600 miles trip I kept it below 65mph and I've had an impressive 12.5mpg.
