... but words matter. Especially when trying to use the search function.

Towing term is for trailers. Hauling should be reserved for hauling in your bed or inside the cab.

And yes, I realize you need to 'haul' the tongue weight, but that's a given.

'Hailing a trailer' Must be a regional thing.

This is confusing. Were you hauling *** in the driver seat extremely fast, Hauling *** in your backseat or towing a small horse trailer with *** in tow?

I would interpret that as having a donkey/*** in the bed of the truck which is kind of dangerous.
