Uhaul Pros
1) seems the safer option

Cons
1) I would have to fly back and drive back down to texas(11 hour drive but I'll use my miles for a free flight)
2) most expensive($800)

Trailer Pros
1) I get everything done in one trip
2) cheapest option-400-600

Cons
1) I've never towed a trailer before and it is a 11 hour drive
2) Idk how much gas would cost or the wear and tear on my truck towing that long
3) riskiest option

UHaul only rents to people that have never towed a trailer before from what I've seen /s

Your gas mileage will go down but shouldn't be horrid. If you have a half ton truck you'll be fine for wear and tear.

Your truck will be fine. If you're really worried you can check the towing capacity but I don't think UHaul even rents trailers that large. Just remember you have to turn slightly wider and maybe practice backing up some before heading out.

Also make sure your trailer lights work for a trip that long.

I meet the towing capacity, im just worried towing for that long of a distance will damage the truck

Youd have to be hauling cattle and shit for long distances on a regular basis to do harm to your full size pickup truck. Its a truck FFS. One long distance haul isnt going to hurt it. Thats what its made to do.

Why did you buy a brand new F150 only to get worried about using it

Just make sure to they have the proper inventory, Uhaul notorious for cancelling an order as late as 24 hours prior to your pick up.

it does seem silly, but trucks in that range do rival luxury vehicles in the interior department...

I was sold on my new ram 1500 when I sat in it, shit is nice as fuck.

Might as well just pay a moving company to do it all for you then. Would hate for you to scratch your tow hitch after taking CEs advice.

Another person who has no business owning a truck. Truck prices are crazy now because of morons that buy something they don't need.

Just pay someone else to haul the stuff for you, you can't handle it from the comments
