If you have larger items to move, such as couches, mattresses or desks, along with your many boxes, there is plenty of room to do so. In fact, any size mattress will fit in a 10&#8242; rental truck&#8211;even your California king! Check out this guide for more information on which moving equipment is right for your mattress. The 10&#8242; U-Haul truck has the followings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inside dimensions 9&#8217;11&#8243;x 6&#8217;4&#8243;x 6&#8217;2&#8243; (LxWxH)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Door opening of 5&#8217;11&#8243;x 5&#8217;7&#8243; (WxH)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deck height of 2&#8217;5&#8243; and length of 9&#8217;11&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s the perfect space for those studio apartments or dorm room moves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Right Equipment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 10&#8242; U-Haul truck may be the smallest moving truck, but it has impressive weight capacity and many&nbsp;other&nbsp;features that allow&nbsp;your move to go smoothly. This size truck doesn&#8217;t have a ramp, but its loading deck is an amazingly low 2&#8217;5&#8243; off the ground, so you won&#8217;t struggle to load those heavier items. It has gentle-ride suspension and rubs rails and tie-downs to ensure your belongings are stowed safely. The 10&#8242; truck can also hold a maximum load of 2,810 pounds and tow up to 6,000 pounds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lowest Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/129478558010565420\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/f63e88e640021f2a2f1ebda42ec9f6ef.jpg\" alt=\"Moving Help\" class=\"wp-image-56466\" width=\"311\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/f63e88e640021f2a2f1ebda42ec9f6ef.jpg 397w, https:\/\/www.uhaul.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/f63e88e640021f2a2f1ebda42ec9f6ef-149x300.jpg 149w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each little cost of a move can add up, especially when you&#8217;re on a budget.
