I would defiantly take a closer look at the Penske over the U-haul
2 different sets of renters, the U-Haul was used every trip by folks that never drove anything that big in their life. Backed over curbs, idled all day. Late braking at intersections the list goes on and on.

Penske usually rents out to businesses who need a truck for short term fleet additions or while their regular truck is in for service. They are usually driven by guys that are used to that type of truck. the same millage in shorter time tells me, more highway, less short trips back and forth in town with the U-haul.

Personally, if you are going to invest 15K into a Penske truck then another 15-25K just to very basically construct it. Go to Racing Junk and by a completed unit for 40 and drive it next week! tons of RV's and Hauler trucks in that range.
