Well I was waiting for Mr. Maskalans to chime in on this, but I couldn't
hold back any longer.

First of all before I go on any more... FHawk Uhaul and their over
priced, over worked, under maintained, run down, POS fleet of trucks and
trailors. I've rented from them more times than I will admit, and it
was a headache every-single-time. From really shitty equipment to really
shitty people.

Ok having said that, if you are going to do the U-haul thang... I know
of an 1998 Dakota 318-V8 4x4 that happened to pull a 4500+ LB, water
logged... 1989 Dodge Aries from Forestville, NY to 'Point, WI in the
late summer of 2003... on a U-haul trailor. While it was no cake walk...
Mr. Maskalans stock (at the time) Dak handled the trip like a trooper.

If you want to see pics of him hauling the Dodge Aries... take a look
below...

hehe :-)
