F150 pulling near it’s max
First time poster, but not new to towing. I have a 2015 f150 eco boost, non max tow. I regularly pull near my max, but that is with being able to set the load on the trailer to perfectly distribute...

We’re renting a trailer from rvshare.com. It weight 8500 dry, and we’ll only be pulling it with a few bags of clothes, a couple gun bags, and maybe a bin of linens.
I’ll be picking the trailer up in Omaha, and traveling 350 miles west, parking it for a week, and then returning. I don’t have a time limit, and I don’t have to travel 65+. I’m content at 55 or what the road conditions call for.
Any advice or input is helpful. Thank you.
Sound like you do not need the space in the trailer to haul all of your stuff. Is it a possibility to rent something closer to your destination? Between the fuel savings and not dealing with any potential issues, tires, etc may be worth it.
Trust me, I’d sleep in a tent. But my wife will be with us. Along with 3 others adults who are flying out as well. As tough and good of a hunter as my wife is, she’s still a 29 year old white girl who works in dc, and needs her amenities. I’m passing through Omaha on the way to our destination, and I’ve looked along the route, and there’s nothing that works for our sleeping needs any closer.
Don’t worry about the inane responses. That’s the price of admission for asking a question here.
You know how to tow, it sounds. You’re not in a hurry (although the Eco will tow it as fast as you want to push the pedal for the most part) and you’re driving across NE. Other than the chance of a snow storm, nothing wrong with your plan.
Some folks act like towing a few hundred miles on flat ground is a chore or an accomplishment. For some it’s just a daily routine.
