Thanks everyone who responded. I also stopped and talked to the GM at one of the bigger U-Haul centers in my area. He said people pull that trailer with similar configurations all the time and he's never heard a complaint. He also didn't recommend I get a better hitch even though I indicated he could have a sale if he did recommend it. So with his advise and that of some of you, I'm going to try it. I'll just take my time if it comes to that. No big deal.

Ok I don't know what the GM at the U-haul dealer was talking bout, but you should NOT hook up a u-haul trailer to a bumper, it should have a RECEIVER HITCH and a 2" ball. It should also be a CLASS III hitch.
Bumper hitches tend to be flimsy, and you dont want to load it to the max. If you install a receiver hitch with a capacity greater than your vehicle, then you are pretty much garaunteed to not overload the hitch.
Just my $.02
