Pulling a uHaul trailer S70

> "What? Canada getting too cold this time of year? :)"

YES! It has been 5 years since Canadian winter. Actually it is the dark more than the cold, it has been snowing/overcast here for over 3 weeks with no sun. Summer and fall were gorgeous though!

But we MAY be moving back to California - not due to cold but work reasons, long story...

I don't want to spend as much moving this time (if we go) and the big Uhaul trailer is only $440 to rent one way, but I don't want to ruin our car or get in a wreck in the process.

No we don't have snow tires, both of us work at home right now so we only need to drive the car to go visiting, and we wait until the roads are clear. I really don't want to buy any if we are going back to CA. I know they make a huge difference we used to have them on our 240 and that thing could drive through snow drifts. I imagine if we move in January through the midwest there would be some horrendous snow and high winds, and there are mountains to contend with.

I have driven a truck pulling a horse trailer many times, but not in the snow and I think that would be a very different feeling than a much lighter FWD car and a lighter trailer.
