Was out checking the truck over today. So far it's made two 2,200 mile round trips to TN towing about 2,000 lbs without issue (trailer with no brakes). Going to put on a set of semi-metallic pads, calipers are only a year or so old. After I get the new pads on and bled might look at a new MC .. pedal feels a tad soft to me, felt really good last year before the trips to TN. I'm kind of a fanatic about brakes.

I'm probably going to have to slow down from the 75-80mph I tow our little Alumna (1400 lb capacity) trailer

All the tires are new, and a new spare. Planning on a on-way with the U-haul trailer, can get pricey though, but no way I'm towing a 2,000 lb empty trailer back up to NY.

I'll be making one prior trip down with our little trailer ... I guess I could leave the little trailer in TN, and bring it back on the car hauler if I had to, then load up the little for another trip down.

Appreciate all the advice and information.
