Joined Aug 14, Posts Unfortunately, the best price I could get was at this one dealer in Ohio for 24k, everyone else wanted 30k or more. I was quoted bucks to have it delivered from Ohio to California. My cousin and I can fly out, rent a 14ft uhaul, and drive it back for about These 14ft box uhaul are rated for hauling upward to 10k lbs, which is well within the parameter.
If anyone think this is not a good idea, please let me know. Mr Bojangles Well-known member. Click to expand I would be concerned that the 14ft U-haul would not be equipped to pull a trailer over 10, lbs.
Even though U-haul says it can tow 10, lbs there are several considerations. One, the hitch that is installed may only be rated for 3, or 5, lbs. You would most definitely need to find that out. The next consideration is if the engine, transmission and brakes can handle a unit as large as you are thinking of buying. And, does the U Haul have a braking system to activate the braking system on the trailer?
My gut feeling is it doesn't. I'm wondering if a standard 14' U-haul is not equipped with the equipment necessary to pull a large rig. I'm from California and have made the trip back to the midwest several times. Does U-haul rent regular pick up truck such as a Ford or Chevy or bigger?
Also, if I'm interpreting the model number correctly your trailer could be as long as 39'. That's a very big trailer. My guessing is that it weights more than 10, lbs; but I could be wrong. Don't take into consideration the dry weight of the trailer, you'll need the weight that is on the sticker of the trailer.
Bojangles: This particular travel trailer, stripped down model, is around 9, lbs. It will certainly put the weight over the 10k mark if it came with a lot of upgrades. My intent is to buy one without any upgrades.
If I get something too heavy, then renting a U-haul will be completely out of the quesetion. At that point, I will hire someone. You may be pleased to know I do not believe in towing more than what a vehicle can handle.
I did forget to include something in my first post. When I spoked with Uhaul yesterday asking them if the 14ft box can handle a lb hitch and a 10k lb trailer, they said its within the specs of the boxtruck, but its right at the limit. Temecula, CA.
