How to Load a U-Haul Auto Transport Trailer

In this video, I show how to use the U-Haul Auto Transport trailer.
Cost to rent these trailers varies widely. Factors that determine the price are if it's a one-way rental or a local rental. I used this as a one way trailer for a 300 mile trip. It wasn't cheap! I paid $188 after taxes.
When checking availability and vehicle fitment of these trailers on U-Haul's website, their system asks for the tow vehicle and what you will be putting on the trailer. This is to determine if the tow vehicle has a sufficient tow rating for the trailer and vehicle on the trailer, as well as if the vehicle going on the trailer will fit based on its weight and dimensions.

[@deltabravo1257]

Everything I know about this trailer is presented in this video. I can't answer technical questions about what vehicles can fit, what vehicles can tow this trailer, if you can push a dead vehicle up onto the trailer, etc. because I simply don't know those details. Any technical questions regarding what can fit and what can tow this trailer need to be looked up on the rental details for this trailer on U-Haul's website. Towing with a given vehicle may work if you have a small vehicle like my Crosstrek on this trailer, but a larger vehicle on the trailer may have put my Chevy Colorado over its tow rating, so U-Haul wouldn't have rented to me in that type of situation. This is why you need to research this detail on U-Haul's website.

Thank you for this video. We are gearing up for 700 miles this weekend in a U Haul with car transport trailer. Your video gave peace of mind. Thank you.

[@deltabravo1257]

Glad my video helped!

[@publicEnima]

you should always tighten the straps again after going down the road a mile cause it will shift on you initially.

[@anveshm5397]

like how often do you suggest tightening the straps? Only after a mile? or tighten them at every gas stop??/

[@publicEnima]

@@anveshm5397 yeah, tighten the straps after a mile you should be good. Check it every once in a while, then you should be good. Good luck!

[@anveshm5397]

@@publicEnima thanks for your response. I was about to hit a 2000 mile road trip with U-haul truck alongside towing my car. Its my first time and nervous as the day is approaching. Any suggestions?

[@gtcam723]

Yeah or five miles. After having drive a flat bed tow truck for a bit, I can attest to this. Lol

[@publicEnima]

@@anveshm5397 when you make turns swing wider than normal and watch your height at gas stations. Your side mirror is your friend. Try pull into somewhere where you can drive out and not back out. Its ok to take up multiple spots when you are in a parking lot. Most people will understand. safe travels.

[@MrXUndeadNinja]

Man 3 weeks ago I never even considered something like this and now I’m about to go pick one up and drive it across the country for a new job 🤪

[@Priaperos]

Same thing here

[@xyzdcp]

Any advice?

[@MrXUndeadNinja]

@@xyzdcp yeah maybe a few You’re going to be tired af if you go a long ways Big trucks/long vehicles who hover in your shoulder area will cause the trailer to sway if it’s not loaded correctly Going too fast will make it sway Don’t stomp your brake or you’ll die so plan your stops well in advance Uhaul trucks don’t have window tint so you might get sunburn on your nipples if you drive with your shirt off which really sucked Don’t eat too much canned tuna or you’ll hate yourself but do hang a grocery bag over a spare hook/seat for an easy trash bag People will race to cut you off, honk, and brake check you because they’re comically stupid Plan your gas stops well in advance with google maps so you can minimize sketchy left turns and/or turning around Don’t be afraid of turning around because it’s going to happen and sometimes you just have to get out of the truck and see wtf is happening Don’t forget to ratchet down your second tow straps. There’s enough going on so don’t add to the rodeo like I did 🤣 If you drive past enough train tracks you’ll see at least one smooth brain race a train and lose. It took 3 hours for the roadway to clear enough for me to turn around because of how the road was laid out and how stupid the people around me were acting Every microscopic inch of Louisiana is ass. The roads are made of recycled Martian soil from 40K years ago. Your phone may overheat in the cab of the truck so plan for that especially if you’re using it for a gps Solar powered usb charger is an awesome tool You can drop the truck and trailer off at the same location as your storage rental even if the tardo on the phone says otherwise Sometimes Uhaul will split, move, AND cancel your storage room reservation IN ROUTE! That one. That one right there almost sent me into a blind rage but fortunately I was too tired to give a damn and kept driving If you get a ticket or automated toll they’ll charge you by axel so my toll was $27 which was a hilarious reminder of my trip 2 weeks later You can return your unused materials for a full refund Sometimes there’s hand trucks, appliance dolly’s, and furniture dolly’s for free at the Uhaul center that you can ask about and sometimes keep The longer ratcheting cargo straps are always always always better than the shorter ones even if they cost more The blankets can be used as packaging cushions if you screwed up placement of something and don’t want to move stuff 1-2ft around Furniture dollys and moving blankets can be rigged up in such a way that you can move extremely large and heavy items alone so long as you can lift a corner on your own A cordless leaf blower is boss af for cleaning out the truck but a dollar tree broom is also clutch Sunburn on the nips is a real bitch to heal up from and trust me bubba it ain’t just a white person thing. Don’t play that game it ain’t worth it. The Waze app was awesome for planning when I wanted to leave on each day of my trip and I stopped roughly every 1-2 hours after my first 4 hour leg to check my trailer and a mental brake from driving this dang Uhaul I found the middle lane to be my safe place after a while Paying the Uhaul guy to help load my car did nothing in reality of actually helping but was good for insurance purposes so I could blame them if something happened Good luck! Try to have fun and take pictures for your memories even if you hate it

[@wolfeadventures]

If you have larger tires-stock or aftermarket-ask about larger tire straps. My stock 20” 4Runner tires 245/60r20 were too big for the stock Uhaul auto transport straps. I only had 3” of strap material make it through the ratchet. 6” is minimum per the instructions. I picked up my trailer in another state so I couldn’t get longer straps. It worked but I was nervous the entire 1000+ miles and checked it every stop.

[@deltabravo1257]

Glad it was helpful! I watched a few other videos before renting this trailer and knew I could make a better one, so I did.

[@SOU6900]

FYI always double check the tongue latch to make sure it's locked if you weren't the one who locked it down when you picked the trailer up. Learned that the hard way loading my mom's 92 Buick onto one of these trailers. Guy at the place we rented the trailer from never tightened the tongue knob so when the car drove onto the trailer the tongue came off the ball, and the forward momentum of the car drove the trailer into the license plate on our dually. I'm hoping that one day I'll come across one of these trailers for sale on their website.

[@deltabravo1257]

I never allow others to hook up a trailer I'm doing, because they may not do it correctly.

[@alexissmallvolleyball238.5]

Thanks for the video, wanted to see if these trailers came with straps and how everything worked. Wheel chocks certainly help but you should always put your parking brake on when loading or unloading a trailer.

[@deltabravo1257]

Yep, parking brake applied when I loaded it up.

[@Classicrk]

Excellent video. Will soon be using an auto transport trailer to haul my Can Am Defender. Only thing I believe I missed was engaging the parking brake on your Subaru.

[@deltabravo1257]

I'd recommend some sort of tie-downs on the back of your Defender. I set the parking brake but never showed that in the video.

Good video; the only issue I have with is your safety chains are not connected correctly. They should be fed THROUGH the holes then hooked through a link and the Rubber safety piece attached. Other than that it’s a great video.

[@deltabravo1257]

Right on!

[@adamshaaeli4979]

Just a couple of things to point out. Chains should be loose. You dont want them to bind when the car suspension is going up and down. The second thing is that you want to drive up until you hit the metal bar with your front wheels. Your right front tire was not all the way up!

[@deltabravo1257]

Thanks for the tip on the chains. The problem was that this trailer was damaged - one of the front wheel bars was bent and deformed from what I remember, so both wheels couldn't rest against the front wheel stops.

Once you get the car up on the trailer, before you get out ALWAYS engage the parking brake.

[@leonardrichards3358]

Thank you buddy...we hit the road in about an hour

Those aar just safety chains, not designed to secure the vehicle to the trailer, like the safety chains on the trailer hitch. Just incase the tire straps might come loose or come off.

I was trying to figure out if these trailers use hydraulic or electric brakes. Your explanation that it has surge brakes right at the start was very satisfying to hear. Did you notice any delay or weirdness with the braking system?

[@deltabravo1257]

I didn't notice and odd behavior with the brakes. I've never towed a trailer with surge brakes before so I was surprised at how well they worked.

[@wowcoldboy076]

Great helpful video. I have a question, it says 55 mph is the recommended speed. Can I drive 65 mph and tow my car? Will it be safe enough? Because I am going for a 900 miles journey and driving 55 will take me a long time to reach my destination.

[@deltabravo1257]

A lot of people that rent these trailers have ZERO previous towing experience. U-Haul states "55 MPH MAX" for liability reasons. I won't say what you should tow with or what speed you should drive while towing, also due to liability reasons.

I'm using a UHaul car carrier for my first time in a couple weeks. As others have said, this video gave me a lot of piece of mind. One thing that I didn't realize until watching, however, is that there are only two wheel straps. I imagined all four would be strapped down! Is this standard on all of their auto transports? Also, I'll be hauling a rear engine car, I wonder how that will effect the load. Will I need to load it backwards?

[@deltabravo1257]

Two straps is all these trailer have. I really can't answer the question about proper loading a rear engine car. Ask U-Haul that question.

You will need to check with U-Haul for that answer. I don't have the answer because I don't work for U-Haul. It Depends on what you intend to tow and what the tow capacity is of your Explorer.

[@Just_a_moment_in_time]

Thank you. This is very helpful video. What is the process for renting the truck and the auto transport trailer? Do I get to take the truck home first and load everything on it then come back to get the trailer hookup?

[@deltabravo1257]

That should work just fine. Just make that arrangement with the U-Haul rental center when you go in to rent the truck and trailer.

[@pinoy71]

I am not sure if this question has been asked, Is it possible to add additional tiedowns and/or wheel chocks to prevent movement?

[@deltabravo1257]

No, it isn't. I'd really like to be able to make a proper tiedown of the rear tires instead of relying on those chains.

[@chriseaker]

Do you have a video showing how to hook it up to the truck? Also is there a place for a padlock where it attaches to the hitch?

[@deltabravo1257]

There's no place for a lock on the coupler due to the style of coupler these trailers use. No, I don't have a video showing how to connect it to a tow vehicle. You just raise the jack high enough to clear your hitch ball, back the truck under the coupler then lower the trailer down onto the hitch ball. and connect the wiring and safety chains.

[@loganandersen5667]

This video was great. I noticed the trailer says a speed limit of 55mph. Is that really true or would I be safe going 65mph?

[@deltabravo1257]

LU-haul does that for liability purposes. I can't say how safely you can tow it because I don't know what your tow vehicle is, what your towing experience is, etc. I can't won't say one way or the other due to liability concerns.

Great idea, I never thought about that.

[@RetiredUnderachiever]

@@deltabravo1257 of course maybe that put the weight to far back also. Never seen anyone do it. Would be curious what a scale would say. Of course depends on the car as well

[@VertoxEffect]

@@RetiredUnderachiever nooooo do not, I repeat do not do this. It looks like a good idea but due to the total weight being further towards the rear you can get what’s called whipping and if you respond to it incorrectly you have a high likely hood of becoming a statistic. There’s a reason you don’t see it done and when you do, if they get up to speed and it starts swaying you better stay out of the way.

[@chrisratcliff6056]

A properly loaded trailer has 10-15% of its total weight on the tongue. Any less and it will sway dangerously.

[@MJPeddler]

I’m curious what tires you have on the Sube. Are they ok on the highway too, or primarily for off-pavement? We’re going to need new tires for my wife’s Forester XT pretty soon, and those look a little more aggressive than the stock tires.

How do you prevent the car's suspension from bouncing the car up and down? The last time I towed a car, that was a problem, somehow remedied by the Ryder Truck Rental folks. It was a 1,200 mile journey. For me, the bouncing was an obvious safety issue. Fortunately, we noticed it before we left town. I've been told that the car's suspension can be damaged if it's chained down too tight. I'd like to tow our Electric Hyundai Kona 1200 miles this time.

We're getting ready to us one of these to carry a car across our state as we move. The U-Haul website said "All towing is subject to inspection. You will need to contact a U-Haul location to schedule a vehicle pre-tow inspection prior to the rental." We're picking the car up about 100 miles down the road from our house as we go.

Pushing a car up onto the trailer will take 3-4 people.

[@rpkelly3825]

Can this be hauled behind a U-Haul moving truck? Or is it only for pick-up trucks and the like? I checked and apparently my Kia COULD experience damage from the wheel wells and straps if I use the car trailer for 2 wheel drive vehicles.

[@deltabravo1257]

Yes, it can be towed behind a U-Haul truck.

I am towing my vehicle on the Uhaul AT behind a 20 foot Uhaul truck. My main concern is getting in and out of gas stations. Did you have any issues navigating for fuel? Is it a good idea to use the Travel Centers which may have more room to move around vs. standard gas stations?

[@deltabravo1257]

I'd just pick your gas stations wisely and not go to the ones that aren't made for easy maneuvering. If you are travelling along the interstate highway system, big gas stations are easy to find right off the exits.

I won't go without four corners tied down!

[@420WILD]

Why the lose chains in the back? To allow it to bounce a little?

[@deltabravo1257]

That's just how the U-Haul trailers are. They don't have a rear tie-down system for the vehicle being hauled. The chain is just a safety mechanism I guess.

How do you load a car that doesn't start? To take to your mechanic? Thanks

[@deltabravo1257]

I don't know.

[@pingpong9656]

How would you use that trailer if your engine is disabled?

[@deltabravo1257]

Not sure. Maybe use a come-along to winch a dead vehicle onto the trailer?
