Im having a hell of a time getting my parts car to my house... one place wanted well over $300 for a 60 mile tow, thats not happenning. It has to be flat bedded or behind an acual tow truck... some guy showed up tonight with a tow dollie and the car can not roll onto it due to a bad rack. So its either gotta be lifted up or pulled up on a flatbed. Would be going from Brick NJ to Maple Shade NJ... any help would be greatly appreciated!

Eh, it needs to be winched onto a flatbed/trailer, or lifted by a eacgle claw.

Tried that... apparently, Uhauls computer system says that my 92 k1500 350 isnt heavy enough to tow the car? They wont rent me a dolly.

what?!? are they serious? what an unbelievable set of circumstances. if i had the means i would help you out.

what kind of vehicle are they looking for to tow the trailer? (maybe one of their trucks?)

i use to use u haul a lot. I always used my 96 dodge ram 2500 diesel. so i never had any issues with towing capcity according to them, lol. if i said i was towing an iroc camaro, theyd tell me the "computer says" its too low for the trailer. id just say "oh this doesnt have a front bumper on so its not low at all, and theyd say ok. since then id always just tell them i was towing a 85 v6 camaro just to avoid the hassle. they are stupid and now i refuse to use them for other reasons, hence why soon im buying wy own trailer. if u were in north nj, i know a good towing company. they towed my z28 from VA for $400.
