a few years ago when i still had my 3/4 ton Silverado, the wife's Neon had some issues that it needed towed home... Rather that paying 200+ to have it towed 40 miles home, i went to U-haul and tried to rent a auto transport trailer.. they turned me down saying that my truck was not heavy duty enough to handle it! never tried to rent from them again....

 

I think I'm missing something here?


That's weird, I had no problem renting a dolly to tow my mom's VW across town to a garage (long story), and before that my parents rented one from them, again with my Durango, to tow my mom's old PT Cruiser from Pittsburgh to SC.

 

a flatbed trailer that allows the whole vehicle to be supported on it poses ALOT more weight than a tow dolly that only raises one set of wheels letting most of the weight fall on the tow vehicle itself... either way a truck with a tow rating of around 8,000 LBS should have been more than enough to handle either one..

 

missed the flatbed part, but I don't understand how they'd turn down a 3/4 ton as not being heavy duty. I guess Uhaul is just a bunch of morons anymore.

 

and this kids is the moral of this story

 

Oh what happened to common sense humanity. That's my rant for today.

 

 

 

 

The Durango is gone but I have been working hard on The 1962 C-10.
