Don't go through lower Manhattan.   Even if you know where you are going,  traffic can be a killer.  Also,  try to avoid New Jersey (nothing good has ever happened to me as a motorist there).

I would suggest getting to the Tappan Zee Bridge (either via NYS Thruway or the 81/17/87 combo.  Exit bridge onto Cross Westchester Expressway (Rte 287); take Cross Westchester to I-95 south; take 95 to Whitestone Bridge and then take BQE to wherever you're going in Brooklyn.     If you are driving without a u-haul,  take the Hutchinson River Parkway south.. rather than I-95.   (This route avoids Manhattan, the Cross-Bronx Expressway and New Jersey).

Or, even better, take 84/east to 684/south  to 287/east to either the Hutch or 95/South.    There is never congestion on the Newburgh/Beacon Bridge.   All those lower Hudson crossings can be bad ... especially the ones going into Manhattan.     I-684 is one of the best-kept secrets in NYC metro area.  There is never any traffic.

Also,  I would suggest renting a large SUV (Yukon, Tacoma or something) or a large Suburban rather than a U-Haul.   I've driven in NYC all my life,  and would not want to drive (or try to park) a U-Haul there.
