On a good (weather) day - it's a good drive from NC to Lauderdale that is usually uneventful if you can time going around Jacksonville, Florida so you don't hit major traffic.
FWIW, we run with the WAZE app for a heads up on troopers/radar or heavy traffic or acciedents ahead.
You will definitely know if you like the truck after the 11 hour drive.

Weather is looking so so near Florida border

At least it won't be an ice storm

Hey Marc. I lost my 2018 truck in hurricane Ian. Flew up to Maryland, bought a new one from my friend and drove it back to Florida.

We made it.
Truck is great, I could not believe just about 16 MPG.
We stopped in Wilmington for a couple of hours so we hit the road kind of late.
We copped out and stayed near New Brunswick.
How come I didn't know it is Bike Week in Daytona? Caught a little traffic there.
Home in time for lunch yesterday.
Sanders Ford, great people best auto/truck buying experience I ever had.
Saw my first Buc-Ees ever - I was floored!

So I got an email last week from my insurance company - the police found the truck!
I thought for sure it had left the country.

I went and took a look at it today, Not exactly in the same condition it was pre-theft but better than I would have expected. Body looks OK but the front bumper & grill have some damage. Also smells like it was home to a chain smoker.
Interior is essentialy intact just dirty. And for some reason they pulled the original radio out and replaced it.
I wonder what it will actually bring at auction?
