30 mile trip, this wasn't even a challenge. It actually drove easier than when I towed a 3,500 lb boat on a single axle trailer with an explorer.
Wasn't presented with any hard braking situations, but normal braking worked absolutely wonderful. B2 is the correct setting allowing the trailer to slightly over brake the car.
Didn't have any semi's pass me, but sure is strange driving at 65. Didn't think this car was even capable of slowing down to 65 :) I filled up just before I picked up the trailer, so will get an initial reading on gas mileage.
Mirrors are a bit more of a problem than my short tow revealed.
May have to replace the 7 round connector on the trailer, had a little bit of a problem getting the brake controller to recognize the trailer. All the lights worked fine, but can't have the brake controller not recognizing the trailer.
