Driving from Florida to Cape Cod with a 12ft uhaul trailer behind me. Hopefully no problems come up and I get half way decent mileage. We'll be on the road on the 14th this month. So if you guys see me on the road with a uhaul, give me a honk!

Have a safe trip, don't forget to bring some various tools and air pump, just in case!

Your a lucky man, outside of the traffic the cape is awesome. I just drove from Texas to NH in my hoe. Good luck on your trip.

I'll be near there. At the Otis Air Base. I'll be stationed at the Coast Guard airstation there. It's in Buzzards Bay.

That sounds like fun! What part of Fl. are you leaving from?

.....and what's the "trailer" button (on the shift lever) supposed to provide?

I'm in Coconut Creek currently. Just north of the Ft. Lauderdale area. The trailer button, as far as I know, removes the OD gear so you are in your power band while towing. ****** mileage though.

Believe it or not, truck stops are some of the cheapest places to buy one!
