Tire Pressure
Check the lights on the trailer and make sure that you wired them right
Check your Tire Pressure, low pressure causes bad gas mileage and could result in a blowout
Make sure you have the right trailer hitch with a good ground, my new hitch was fresh and the paint kept me from getting bright lights on the trailer until I grounded the trailer to my bumper
Use your CB if you have one
You'll have no problems if you maintain the truck right. My 94 p/u 22RE pulled a loaded 6'x12' Uhaul trailer, 3-4k lbs, from Colorado to Alabama (27 hrs, normally 19) with no issues-Safety 1st!

thats quite a feat for the little 22re! my v6 had some issues with a 16' trailer weighing in at 3k lbs, just under the rated tow capacity.

I had no problems towing approx 5k lbs for 45mins. Of course, I didn't go any faster than 60mph at any given time....and I wouldn't do it very often at all.........just keep your speed down and keep overdrive off and you'll be fine. Overdrive once at a set speed might work, but it'll constantly kick down a gear...I just took o/d off for most of it.
