Truck and trailer measurements are approximate. The equipment you receive may vary in size, based on the engineering/design specifications of multiple-production models. The miles per gallon calculations are estimations for ideal driving circumstances. Many conditions can affect this number, including driving with a load, road grades and conditions, and vehicle speed.

Tow Dolly

The most economical way to tow your vehicle. U-Haul is the only national company that rents towing equipment independent of truck rentals.
