Alright, let's be honest I have no towing experience.

With that in mind, I am moving from Houston, TX to Bartlesville, OK. I need to get both my F150 and my GT500 up to OK. No, I do not have a spouse to help. I intend to slap the GT500 on a trailer and tow it with my F150.

I bought straps to latch the car down to the trailer. I need to a hitch hookup.

Now to the question, what else do I need? What do I need to do to make sure I'm safe? What should I look out for?

I want to be safe.

How long is the trailer? At interstate speeds I would recommend investing in stabilizer bars for a trailer pulling something that heavy. Just added security that the trailer won't be swaying back and forth all over your's and the 2 other lanes beside you.

Its a basic uhaul trailer so I'd imagine it isn't a whole lot longer than the mustang itself.

What do you mean stabilizer bars?

Whatever you do, don't put a tarp or any covering over the car. It will destroy the paint.

I think you will be fine. On uhaul trailer inspect tires and inflate to max pressure. Keep speed under 70 and start out slower until you get used to the set up. The car should pull easy bc of little wind resistance compared to an enclosed trailer. You will burn gas so be ready for 10-13 mpg at 70 liely depending on wind, hills, etc. also with haul trailers they have this Wierd screw down hitch coupling so check it at every stop to make sure it hasn't loosened.

Also with your tuck engine and that terrain I would not use tow haul mode, but if you did it wouldn't hurt anything.

This^ check the trailer over. I just rented a trailer from uhaul...with a flat tire! They told me they just aired them up too!

What these guys said and the thing that gets a lot of new to towing guys...........it takes a lot longer to stop. Give yourself lots of room. No texting lol, and watch out for idiots. Youll do great!

Most important things to remember is stopping and pulling out into traffic and getting up to speed take longer.

Edit : I was beat to it.

Yeah, don't use a system designed to do exactly what you want to do! (Sarcasm)

Use tow/haul mode, it's designed for it.
