I went 54 to 70, parents live just outside town and country to it’s faster that way and terrain is way more friendly that 42 to 63 to 44. If I was in the old tuned Mazda3 the latter option is much more fun!

Ended up going from Nashville to Ft Myers today and may I say... I will need some up grades next time! For sure a different hitch system, and trailer. That uhaul box sucked. 4th gear a lot of the way through the smokies and if you want to muster any MPG keeping it 65mph is the way to go. Just enjoy the ride like a few have said a s pull over when you can to see some cool sights!

Ps: Don’t even think about using cruise control haha

It was always a chore to pull. Most of the issue was cross-wind, but it didn't handle it as well as I thought it should. I had an anti-sway weight distributing hitch, which didn't seem to help any. Always seemed underpowered and felt as though I was towing beyond the 5k rating even though I was far from it. I would definitely not be afraid to tow with it occasionally, but not on a regular basis as would be the case with a camper.


Picked this up in March. Towed less than 1,000 miles so far but it does fine. Not fast, but as they say “nowhere to go and all day to get there.”
