I would not even think about towing a trailer with a SVTF, the first gear is just too tall and the clutch will take a beating. Once you get it moving it might not be that bad but if you ever get stuck in traffic or have to start on a hill you will toast the clutch.

How about shipping all your stuff and drive the SVT across the country, I'll bet it would be cheaper than renting a U Haul and feeding it $2.50 worth of gas every 6 miles. About $850 worth of fuel in the truck and about $180 in the SVTF, on top of the fact you will be lucky to AVERAGE 55 MPH in the truck over the length of the trip.
