Renting car trailer

[cham]

You kind of have to go U-Haul. I am a rental mgr for Penske and they wont let us rent the trailer by itself. Too many idiots putting land yachts on the trailer and hooking it up to a Geo Metro. Kept killing people. If you rent a truck your all good tho, I towed 2 states with my 69 camaro on one.

They let me tow my 70 Charger RT on one! I have my own trailer now though!

I towed with a 2001 Z71 K1500 ext cab.

Two things
1) Do not tow with a 1/2 ton without trailer brakes! Really should have them anytime.
2) Be sure to balance car on trailer. I always measure from the bottom of the bumper to the ground before loading, then once loaded, balance car back and forth until the bumper is about 1 1/2 to 2 inches lower. Plenty of tounge weight then.

The UHaul I used had very good surge brakes.
Where is it stated that any type of car is excluded?
That doesnt make sense...what do they care so long as weight is correct?
Here is what I found on uhaul.com:

• Must weigh at least 3,500 lbs. (curb weight), and must equal or exceed 80% of the combined weight of the trailer (2,000 lbs.) and the vehicle being towed (up to 4,000 lbs.).
• Must have Class 3 tow hitch (5,000 lbs. minimum weight-carrying rating)
• Must have 1-7/8", 2" or 2-1/8" hitch ball (5,000 lbs. minimum)
• Must not exceed maximum allowable hitch ball height 25"
• Must have external mirrors on both sides

• Maximum recommended speed is 45 MPH

The vehicle being towed:

• Must not weigh in excess of 4,000 lbs.
• Must have a maximum outside-to-outside tire width of 79.25"
  Note: outside tire width over 75" must use late-model U-Haul Auto Transport (identifiable by silver galvanized color).
• Must have a maximum wheelbase (distance from front axle to rear axle, usually posted on the driver's side door jamb) of 133 inches.
• Low-hanging equipment on the vehicle being towed such as spoilers, air dams, ground effects, etc., may be damaged by contact with the Auto Transport during loading and unloading. Make sure there is enough clearance for these items.
