I'm doing a one time 1700 mile move from North Dakota to South Georgia, so through a few mountains in Tennessee. I'm stuck on whether to get a dang Uhaul or just buying a V-nose enclosed to pull behind my pickup like we did when we moved up here, then sell it when we get done. I'm just not sure what the largest size of V-nose I can safely tow fully loaded with furniture and household things. I'll be towing with my 2012 King Ranch F150 Screw with 5.0L, 6.5ft bed, tow package, 3.73 gears, and weight distributing hitch. Not sure if it matters but it also has a leveling kit on it. Thanks for any help guys!

7x14 loaded trailer and cargo weight inside at 8,000 pound plus some. Need twin axle with brake controller. Regular stock mirrors on a 7x14 work fine.

I have a 26' inline V-Nose that I use for 4 snowmobiles in the winter. Pull it with without any issue.

I pulled a 27' v nose car hauler with my eco 3.73s and tow pkg.

Thanks guys. I was looking at a 7x16+4ft Vnose, but wasn't sure if that would be enough room. I'm going to look into a 7 or 8.5x20+4ft Vnose. Now I just have to figure out what all our things weigh. Still if anybody else has different experiences or input please let me know, because I think I'm going to be pushing the tow limits set by Ford, but not sure yet.

You may not make out as well doing the buy sell as you did in North Dakota. There is a big trailer manufacture in Georgia and there prices tend to be very good, enough that I have know guys to drive down and pick up a trailer vs buying locally and the additional cost of fuel was offset in the price.

I also have some questions about towing v nose trailers

I have a 2013 Eco full towing package,
Wanting to get a 20-24 foot v nose enclosed trailer
But want to know what people setups are on their trucks,
Am I going to sag alot, I am not used to f150's have always had the diesel super duties
I am wanting to add a leveling kit to my f150 and I am worried about sagging to much

Ya thats the other problem. There are so many manufacturers in the southeast(mainly Georgia) and none up here so the prices are high due to shipping costs. Trailers that size are around 2k cheaper in Georgia than here in North Dakota. I bought multiple trailers when we lived there and worked with a few of the companies, so the prices were quite surprising when we moved back north. So this time the trailer I buy from here, I cant sell for more down there.

Sounds like a U-Haul is the feasible thing to do.
