U Haul Auto Transporter


Recommended Posts

Hello all!

 

Has anyone used an auto transporter from U-Haul.  Fine print says 6 inch ground clearance required.  Isn't the air dam a smidge less?

 

Looking for feedback and/or opinions.

 

Thanks!

Use them all the time. Just carry a couple cut 2x6s and you’ll be fine loading. Then a couple small 2x6s (about 12” length) to put under the front wheels once you load it.

Thanks Steve!

How long do the cut cut 2x6s need to be for loading?

Also, did you leave the car in 1st (manual) or neutral?

I would say maybe 3 feet long for when you are loading on the ramps, and then just a couple 1 foot sections for the front. I’ve towed probably 20 of these things, and I’ve used a U-Haul trailer every time. It’s just a close call and you’ll want that a little bit of leverage, just to be safe.

I've moved two (from Steve as a matter of fact) on Uhaul trailers. We backed one on, which created another issue with the angle of the front. I fortunately have an air suspension and I put it on the highest setting which improved the angle of the ramps and we got it on safely. The other car already had damage to the air dam (I had a spare I was going to use) so we didn't worry about it. I will say that it towed really well behind my truck. I only knew it was back there when I checked my mirrors--though I'm pretty cautious when towing so that was fairly often.

Be prepared for a lot of people wondering what on earth that awesome looking car you're towing is. LOL.
