U-Haul Trailer Towing Questions

You must have had that trailer loaded with stuff to squat the back of your Yukon! Glad your trip was safe!

It was completely full, front to rear, top to bottom. I eagerly unloaded it and forgot to take a picture of how full it was. Also, the Yukon was also loaded as well, contributing to the squat.

About to rent the same trailer to haul from OH to TX in a 2003 Z71. Going to take it nice and easy. She is @ ~240K on original engine and tranny. Hauled U-Haul auto transport a couple of times in the past, but the Tahoe was a bit newer then.

When you load the trailer, try and put the heavier items over the axles and not up front which will weigh down the truck. That's what I do anyway when I rent those 12 footers.

On my journey I saw people towing these double axle U-Haul trailers with much, much smaller vehicles. So much that some of these trailers were tilting far forward just to be able to line up with their trailer hitches. I think I saw a Subaru pulling one at a Buckeys. With anything less than the V8 as bad as acceleration was, I can't imagine towing one with a 4 cylinder. Unless of course they're empty, but then why rent such a large trailer if you weren't going to load it?

I rented one May 2023 to move my son from college to his new place. It wasn't loaded full, but had quite a lot of stuff in it. Pulled fine and didn't really notice it was there, but that was with the 6.2l XL
