uconn1150 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssblast20 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 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. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, did you leave the car in 1st (manual) or neutral? --Louie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gh4st Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 Towed my Starion just last month just fine and had no rub on the air dam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssblast20 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 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.

nc_beagle Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
