I don't know about your particular vehicle, but I recently did exactly the same thing. See my truck's specs below. I pulled my son's 1999 Subaru Outback (3,200 lbs. dry weight), for a total of about 5,400 lbs. I don't know what the tongue weight was, but it didn't appear to be excessive based on the relative level of the truck before and after. I towed 80 miles on some small roads, but mostly freeway driving. I had zero issues and it towed very smoothly. I did observe on a 70 mph highway that I had no trouble at 65, but the turbos opened up between 65 and 70 and that last bit of acceleration was challenging. I might have been able to lock out 6th or 5th gear on that stretch, but I just kept it at 65. Tow/Haul mode, of course.

I doubt you'll have any trouble. Good luck!

uHaul only looks at total tow rating for matching you with a car haulers, and they don't let you use a WDH with them. I don't know if they are just ignorant, or there is some secret sauce in place with the position of the trailer wheels to keep the tongue weight down.

As far as my insurance is concerned (I asked), if the trailer causes an issue that results in a crash, they will seek compensation from uHaul.

uHaul lists a max speed of 50mph with the car haulers. This might be the secret sauce, keep the speeds down, minimize opportunity for issues.

Personally, I'd suggest keeping the speed down because they leave the tires on their trailers a lot longer than I would ever leave on mine.

Before accepting trailer, give it a go-around checking lights, tire treads.

Grab each wheel and rock it back and forth to check for bearing play. Should be only minimal movement.

Some uhaul joints seem to care, the rest dont give a damn.

Uhaul puts the tongue weight of the loaded carrier at 750 lbs if I remember correctly. Making sure your ball and drawbar are rated for 750lbs tongue weight would be a good place to start. I find uhaul to have great prices for drawbars and *****.
