Steve,
I trailered my M home from where I bought it on my 6000# tandem with brakes pulled by a F-150 with the 4.9L six cyl/5-speed manual trans. The trip was about 100 miles with terrain varying from hilly to flat. I used premium gas to avoid knocking and only had to downshift out of OD a couple of times to maintain a minimum speed of 50 mph. The M weighs almost 5000 lbs. and I wouldn't trailer it without brakes. The other thing to look at is overall width of the H. I had to reverse one rear wheel on the M so it would fit the trailer. The H is only slightly smaller than the M so the trailer should be as close to 8' wide as possible unless you can turn the wheels so the dished side is in. If your truck is an automatic overdrive, i suggest you lock out the OD so you don't overheat the trans. Be careful and lookout for idiot drivers, they're your biggest danger. Phil
