I also tow with a 2002 GMC Sierra 1500 small V-8. BTW, I have a Tommys Aluminum trailer, and I was advised by Tommy Hudson that I should not use an Equalizer on aluminum trailers. An open trailer should not be that more costly then renting a over worked trailer. My suggestion, if you don't care to drive, is to hire a transport service. You will never forgive yourself if someone is hurt. These small, 3000 lb 194 " long, car Uhauls are too light, and will the Caddy doors even clear the support rails that run around the 3 sides? Can the trailer fenders be removed for loading? Don't do it. My trailer is 25 feet long & that is for a 216" 1950. I never saw a Uhaul trailer long enough to accommodate a vintage Cadillac. Oh boy!! A friend uses Uhaul trailers every year, but he tows a 50 Plymouth P-19, 3200lb, 187" long. If you were closer, I'd let you borrow my trailer. I've used them just fine towing smaller cars and they worked very well. I'm not saying they're bad, they just don't work well for long, heavy, older cars. I'd rather see someone drive their car to an event if it is operable than to risk their life using one of these trailers. The best way to correct whipping is to apply the trailer brake only with the electric brake controller, but that is not possible with a U-Haul trailer. If the trailer is whipping (correct term apparently), applying the tow vehicle brake will only worsen the condition. There is no provision for an electric brake on the U-Haul trailer.
The trailer pushing against the truck trying to stops activates a hydraulic brake in the trailer. One thing to note is that the U-Haul trailer is only equipped with a surge brake, meaning, that the only way to apply the trailer brakes is to apply the tow vehicle brake. The 2002 F350 dually hauls it effortlessly and I've already trailered the car close to 2000mi in the last year. I now have another 61 Fleetwood and a 20' equipment hauler two axle trailer with electric brakes and long ramps. Nearly scared the crap out of me.īacking the car and reducing the overhang helped somewhat. It was a long slow drive coming home after the whole works nearly flipped over on the Interstate 3 miles from where I picked up the car. When I did it, I was already 700mi away from home to pick up a car I had bought. The rear wheels will just get on the trailer and there is such an overhang off the end of the trailer that it removes a lot of weight off the tongue making the whole trailer unstable no matter what you tow it with. I experienced exactly the same symptoms with a 61 Fleetwood as your friend is describing. The best thing in this case is to visit 3 or 4 reputable trailer dealers and have them provide recomendations which you can take home, sit down and reveiew.Joe. You need to make sure the track is wide enough and of course you want to make sure whatever built-in holddowns can contain that beast. If you are looking to buy, you will need a car carrier that can handle the weight of the vehicle, that has the ability to accomodate the wheelbase. The above is if renting a carrier from the national self moving companies. if you can combined the size capacity of the dolly and carrier together, you can haul the car with Pensky.
Uhaul car trailer full size#
Their carrier can handler the car size except that the carriers are not rated for the weight of the full size town car. Their Tow Dolly has a slightly smaller track than U-Hauls so although their dolly can handle the weight, it can't handle such a large car with that track. Pensky's equipment is not rated for your vehicle. The U-Haul Car Carrier can handle both weight, size and track BUT you will need to check with the office location you are rentimg and reserve it through them as there are TWO carriers and they need to make sure the larger one is what is available for you. The weight of the car exceeds the capacity for U-Haul's Tow Dolly.
