- This is a step-by-step demonstration on how to load your car onto a U-Haul Auto Transport. Towing your car on a car dolly is helpful for towing project cars and hot rods. You can also use a car carrier when you're making longer moves and you can't drive the car.

Man, this trailer is so much nicer than the ones I usually get
The one today i got is just like the one in the vid. Its pretty shweet
Where i can get this
@@jahangirafghanbacha3379 I'm guessing Uhaul
Well this was 7 years ago dude
Totally. I just hooked one up and it's a little ratchet.
Thank the gods for this video my car just got stuck like 300 miles away from my house every tow truck company I called to get it back to the house was charging between $500 to 2500 I grabbed the U-Haul and it costs only 300 for the truck and the trailer talk about a lifesaver😬 and yes we did push it up the rep by hand
300 and 500 not much a different. What are you talking about?
Aye that's crazy I'm in the exact same situation 😭. My Volvo 240 sputtered out 300 miles from home and now I am getting a truck and trailer to go collect it.
I need to move and bring a vehicle along soon. I thought this would give me more confidence in towing a vehicle. It didn't. Now I am even more convinced to drive my truck for the move, then fly back and drive the car separately.
😂 One minute in to the explanation and felt the exact same way.
I'm sure someone at some point has hauled ass going up the ramp
they really sent it when they moved the suv to the front of the trailer lol, just floored it
🤣🤣🤣
Just did it today and the trailers have these nice little lips...so good luck getting it on without flooring
@TJDawgieStyle yeah i had to floor it too. it doesnt seem like much but the lips really do keep your car from getting up there
Why doesn't the U-haul transport come with a built in winch for getting cars onto the winch when they are not running?
Expense and liability, probably.
It aint a tow truck. Throw some rollers on it.
dreamingcode If the car is small enough can you just push the car with a few guys?
@@MileHighGrove aew
Use a rachet come along. That's how i pulled my little Triumph onto the trailer. That works good only if it's a small car
Definitely needed this video looking to maybe use a uhual transport trailer to bring a full size chevy suv home.
Trailer won't support that weight.
Eee÷eeeeeeedee⅔we q
Did you get the chevy?
@@familyfree2994 ended up buying a full size 88 gmc jimmy that was closer and in better condition I could drive home.
@@ScoobyDigites lol something told me you might of never did it. Lol but I was lead here because I'm thinking about doing the same thing. I'd hate to have too but you can get some killer deals for cars not running.
Thank you for the video, this helps
I really needed this video. Good job!
Wow Sperry, you helped us A TON!
This video was extremely helpful!
very useful video.thank you for sharing.
You're welcome! We appreciate your feedback.
You mentioned the emergency brake for the third chain but didn't really show where or how it was supposed to connect.
Doesn’t U-haul do the trailer connection for me?
This is a good video but I’m still praying the U-Haul center will do this for me. I’m moving by self and don’t think I can do this.
Don't think about it too much just do and you shall receive
Same, and they told me they wouldn't do it because of liability reasons. I seriously don't know how tf I'm gonna do this smh!! 😩😩😩😩
Great Video ! Thank you !
Wouldn't it be easier if the Auto Transport was fitted with a winch?
A winch is ideal for loading cars that have no engine or otherwise are broken down.
BTW, the auto-transport is even ideal for taking your Batmobile replica to San Diego Comic Con!
Yes it would, but I am sure U-Haul sees it as a liability. So we get to try and kill ourselves trying to load a disabled vehicle.
You can rent a small clamp-on temporary winch and stick it to your truck or the trailer and winch the vehicle up.
Can you back up with the surge brakes?
I went to uhaul. They printed me an entire book. Nowhere in that book did it mention how to secure the vehicle im hauling to the transport. Instead it said things like " if you lose control, dont speed up".
😂
Any advice on how to load a vehicle that wont' start ?
get a bunch of friends and push haha
CoryCDS 😂😂
u haul.com price s
Attach a winch
Andrew Baker push harder
Thank you for sharing. Good video.
I see a sign says 55 kmph so what if i want to go on s long trip on highway with higher speed
That's strictly liability reasons they put that on there. Just go the posted limit and don't speed or drive recklessly
Does the u-haul attach the trailer for you if needed?
Yes absolutely just ask
Transporting a NON OP VW BUG from California to Texas tonight!!!!
Hope everything went ok! I'm taking my Mitsubishi from California to Texas too!
Great vid
What if the car doesn't run ? How do you get it on there. ??
Push it or winch it on. Trailer does NOT have a mounted winch, you will need to use a come-along or alike.
When you have to tow, often, the car is down....how you haul it on the trailer.."!!!?
Can you just use a tow truck instead of using a bed?
What if the vehicle is not mobile how you gonna load it onto the trailer
Thanks!
Is the trailer stand strong enough to leave a vehicle on it over night?
Yes of course. We will be towing a truck from OR to FL over 8 or 9 days.
@@Jmamelia thank you so much for the reply, I was planning on passing by San Diego and parking the trailer at my sisters in laws with the vehicle on it and using my truck around the city for a day or two. Thanks for the reply
@@Jmamelia Hey there! When you traveled pulling the trailer, where did you spend the nights? I've pulled trailers before, but never overnight, so I didn't have to pull off to the side of the road or find a hotel or something.
Thanks for sharing this amazing content 👏🏾
Would this be able to carry our 2002 Honda Odyssey?
As long as your tires arent oversized you will be fine.
His name is Sperry Hutchinson? Sure it is - lol.
Don't forget, TRAILER EXPERT
U-Haul employee here. Yes, that is his name, he's a super nice guy
@@thefreezakacademy How about that. Did his parents collect a lot of Green Stamps? Or is that a nickname he adopted? That choice of name can't be just a coincidence.
If you need a trailer with a winch on it, find a trailer and equipment rental company.
MrWolfSnack Amazon has an Amazon winch we used with our trailer so worth the money it’s called superwinch winch 2 go! Pulled our challenger up a ramp into the trailer with ease
...or a come-along.
So i want to buy a 97 Civic in New Heaven and bring with me back to MA is it legal? Or do i need any other documentation?
You would need to check local laws for your area. ^AF
what if the vehicle doesn’t run?
Push it or winch it on. Trailer does NOT have a mounted winch, you will need to use a come-along or alike.
what size ball hitch do you need for this trailer?
2.5 in from what I've been told
Is that a Ford F-150 or 250 that’s pulling?
F150
Are the rear tires strapped down?
No, just the front tires.
What happens if you have a wreck with one of these and your car gets destroyed or something? My mom is freaked the hell out about it and wants to come drive my car for me bc she’s worried something will happen and I think she needs to chill.
Uhaul had insurance so the more you pay the more it covers. You could run with no insurance and risk having to pay a lot of money or you could get different uhaul insurance in your contract. The more you pay the more it covers. They do have insurance for your personal vehicle that comes with the trailer if you pay for it.
anyone ever try to load a 4th gen camaro on one? looks like it would fit but the front bumper wouldn’t clear before the front tires stop
Raise the end of the ramps up... either with blocks (and using boards for secondary ramps out past the primary ramps) or find a hill.
Ford Pulling A Ford 👍
These Uhaul videos are hilarious. They manage to do everything incorrectly.
In my country you need extra license for towing trailer
I know how the loading process works, it’s unloading it that’s giving me problems
Do it in reverse?
@@squirrelnut no actually, you have to unlock the strap a certain way. To do it you really have to watch a video, but everything else is in reverse
What if the car falls off the track. How do you get the track from under the truck
r u serious?
Ta ta the trailer has chains so if your vehicle falls you did something wrong. And there is a hook that you pull down and then slide the ramps.
Do you need a cdl to drive with one of this trailers
no you do not as long as the vehicle weight is in under the class c weight
Why not show how to get a car on their that doesn't run or drive
80,s porn music? lol
Can I use this trailer to bring a 2003 Durango?
Says to load the car slowly.
Proceeds to bolt onto the trailer at record speeds.
qazqa5 It was a woman driving, that’s why
@@sethguzman677 I mean, we all thought it. 🙃
@@sethguzman677 shut your mouth
The trailer does nothing if your car don't run 😂😂😂 worthless company 🎉❤🎉
Wish I could find a Uhaul location with these new trailers.
That’s for sure not a 5 min job
Just did it, it was quick af good sir
OK… I try to always be a positive guy, I don't do social media bantering and all that jazz, but I have to throw it out there… The first chain he hooked up was around the brace that holds up the exhaust pipe during exhaust work and or the driveshaft… It is like 18 gauge may be 16 gauge steel with 8 mm bolts on both ends… One could probably rep that off with two hands in a chain. Yikes. U-Haul, readdress!
Check The Trailer Lights Before Leaving Also
Observe at 2:38 the mechanism of suspension with vehicle crossmember tied to control arm at pivot close to vehicle centerline and separated by coil spring at vehicle left. When the vehicle moves up and down from road bumps the two members together will open and close like jaws. Should something resist this action by getting between these members the momentum of the downward travelling vehicle will have greater leverage over the resisting structure as the structure gets closer to the pivot. The chain, where placed, could conceivably move toward the pivot during upward vehicle motion and try to prevent subsequent downward vehicle motion, with great mechanical disadvantage, resulting in significant deformation of the control arm and/or crossmember.
Then move back to 2:30 and think hard about the crossmember this chain is wrapped around. Should upward vehicle motion cause the chain to hit it's length limit, would the crossmember, attaching bolt and subframe be able to to deal with the resulting shock load without bending and/or breaking?
so where did you get your engineering masters from? lol
Sorry man; sometimes I wonder a little why nobody likes me, other times I don't wonder at all (:
Let me try again: Here the chain is in a potential pinch point, here the crossmember doesn't look very strong.
Good observation.
Yes, the left side was OK but that right chain could get pinched, maybe damaging the suspension. I bet people at work love your emails ;)
@@icantabelieva6486 well you sound very smart and thanks for telling us that dont know. Have a good day :)
Thank you for this. I’m in the middle of a move and about to load a car up. This made me safe. ❤
Nice video! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! 🙂
Thank you too.Please suscribe :)
k so what are the dimensions. Im tryna haul a japanease car and of course its not on ur site for configuration and i cant find the dimensions anywhere so what are they?
Definitely needed this video I'm looking to transport my boat cross country.
Does your boat have wheels?
@Connor Mullen I have Harbor freight straps
U-Haul has the best trailers. They have a 5 by 9 with large steel side walls that I just love to rent because it's so much better and safer than anything I have found on the private market. It's a bummer that their trailers are all in house and not for sale to the public. Even when they reach end of life they get recycled by U-Haul and never sold publicly.
Would they provide hitch with towing equipment?
I honestly have to know who actually dose this any times that they use their trailers
Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste .. 🙏🏻 😊 ✌ ☮ ❤ 🕊
What if the car is low lol
Use wood blocks on the ramp or raise the towing vehicle with ramps.
You can remove the bumper and clear this trailer with most vehicles even luxury sedans
What if the car doesn’t work and cannot drive?
Push it or winch it on. Trailer does NOT have a mounted winch, you will need to use a come-along or alike.
Could I use these trailer to start my car hauling business without cdl and dot messing with me?
That would be expensive
Jose Tay did you figure it out
That's a beautiful trailer.

Will the 10 feet U-Haul truck have the capacity to haul the trailer with the vehicle on it?
no it doesnt
Does anyone know what the tire size limitations are on these trailers? I'm looking to transport my Jeep with 33x12.5 tires.
The straps are designed for tires with an overall diameter of 30 inches or less. For larger size tires a U-Haul Center can provide you with special automotive tie down straps, and instructions on how to use the to secure your vehicle to the Auto Transport. More information can also be found at the following link: www.uhaul.com/Articles/Tips/121/Auto-Transporter-User-Instructions/ ^MPM
I can transport ford expedition
Dont forget to put the ramps back after you get your car up on the trailer.
The wheel straps that secure the car wheels in place, do they come with the dolly when renting?
Yes they do

I wanted to tow a 2015 Ford Escape 2.0L with a 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk 3.2L and Uhaul says "not recommended", WHY ?
Will this trailer support a 1998 Z71 4WD truck that weighs 5,108 pounds, is 20 feet long and has a wheelbase of 13 feet?
What size tow ball would you need on the truck?
Most surge brakes have a lockout mechanism for backing up
I wish they showed how to get a car that the clutch is broken so it won’t drive anywhere on the trailer lol that would help
I really wish i could buy a uhaul trailer! Theyr so nice and convenient
My car can’t even drive! Imma have to push it🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️ mechanical issues! That’s why I need help!!
I want to purchase one of these trailers to bad usual won’t sell.
Would uhaul allow this car hauler into Mexico?
..if not, where can I buy a trailer like this?
No tie downs for the back? How is that right? You need tie downs on all 4 corners. Those "security" chains don't count as a legal tie down?
Hauled many vehicles with only straps on the front tires , the rear chains are to control the bounce of the car .
Hell I hauled a 38 ft semi trailer on a 53 ft semi trailer 250 miles with only 4 straps.
hey there found u in ntd news chat
Saftey chain on towed car is wrong and the break away chain to hitch is wrong
Shout out U-Haul 50 bucks a day not too shabby
How much does the trailer itself weigh?
Where can I buy one of these trailers?
Would it support a 6000 pound truck
Does the vehicle being hauled need a tag after just being purchased?
No, as long as is not being operated no tag needs to be on the vehicle sitting in the trailer. I would make sure you have the proper paperwork if you get pulled over.
Where i can find to buy same trailer as uhaul ?
You know, when towing a car 8/10 tines the thing isn't running....
you know when using uhaul 10/10 the person is moving.
PEOPLE IF YOUR PIECE OF SHIT CAR AINT RUNNING THIS WONT HELP YOU!!
Sure it will push it on.. or use a winch.. or come along.
Thank you for this I do not know how to drive now I feel CONFIDENT
can I haul a 9.6 horse trailer double axel?
Awesome!
will the truck infront throw rock chips onto the car
Very likely. You can rent a moving blanket from Uhaul to cover the front
Those straps come with the trailer right? (I am renting one tomorrow)
Curious, did the trailer come with the straps?
They do come with the trailer
I have a sports car. Wondering if the front lip will prevent it from being up front as this car was on the trailer
Hello, Shawoo. Using a come along is quite fine. We even sell this item that will help you load your vehicle onto one of our trailers. And we do not see this as a liability. Please take a moment to view: spr.ly/605389zTP . Best regards. ^DR.
Also, if you can provide the year, make and model I can tell you if your vehicle will load safely onto one of our trailers with no issues regarding clearance. ^DR.
Just use some wood
U-Haul would a 2008 vw r32 tow ?
it would probably fit to front of the ramps just fine. Only problem is when you back the car off the tire stoppers on from will catch your frame of car or worse your skid plate and rip your front bumper off lol
This is really amazing!
We appreciate your feedback! :)
