We are moving from the Tucson AZ area to Pinehurst NC. Will be towing a Mazda Miata behind a 26' UHaul truck on an auto transport. Luckily, I have a grandson who is going to drive the truck. My wife and I will be living a little more luxuriously in a 2019 Equinox Premier with the 2.0 and a Chevy tow package. Unfortunately, everything will not fit in the truck. I am thinking about towing a 6 x 12 UHaul trailer behind the Chevy and just trying to load it with the boxes that are mostly air and some lighter weight furniture items ( fragile ) to keep the total weight under the 3500 pound towing capacity. Our route will be across I-10 to I-20 which keeps us on a flatter route across NM, TX, etc. into Atlanta and then up US 1 into Pinehurst NC. I believe the hilliest terrain is eastern AZ and maybe? some places in NM. Has anyone done a long distance tow with this much trailer behind them? What kind of speeds did you feel comfortable with; not only from a safety standpoint but also the health of the drive train? Any thoughts would be welcome.
