Towing was a success!!!

Rented 5x8 uhaul trailer that weighs about 900 lbs empty. Loaded it full, probably had a tongue weight of 200 lbs, had stuff piled on top of the trailer and the car - looked ridiculous.

Was able to go 55-65 the whole way except a very steep hill at the end which I had to go around 35.

All in all, very impressed that the car could do it. I'm not sure I would attempt something like this w/ an automatic, but the manual handled it very well.
