Rental truck maintenance is spotty. I used to live on an island with increasing population and a large supply of U-Haul trucks. They were only available for local use. I had to go fetch a reliable one before loading, but at least they told me why. Crossing mountains and half a continent, on gasoline with an auto trans, with a 26' box, @55 MPH, I think I got about 8 MPG US.
