Can a Uhaul Truck Tow a Car?

When it comes to moving large items, a Uhaul truck is often the go-to option. But can a Uhaul truck tow a car? The answer is, yes – but only in certain circumstances.

Uhaul trucks are equipped with a hitch that can accommodate up to 2,000 lbs. of gross trailer weight, including the trailer’s own weight and any items being towed. This means that the combined weight of the car and trailer should not exceed 2,000 lbs. for it to be safely towed by a Uhaul truck.

It is important to note that Uhaul does not recommend towing a car with their trucks due to safety considerations.

Towing a car with a Uhaul truck requires additional safety measures such as proper weight distribution and secure connections between the tow vehicle and the trailer hitch. Additionally, special tires may be required in order for the tow vehicle to handle the added load safely.

In addition to safety concerns, there are legal considerations as well. Depending on where you are located, there may be laws prohibiting or limiting the amount of weight that can be towed by rental vehicles such as Uhaul trucks. It is important to research local laws before attempting to tow anything with a rental vehicle such as a Uhaul truck.

In summary, while it is possible to tow a car with a Uhaul truck, it should only be done in certain circumstances and after researching local laws and taking additional safety precautions.

Conclusion:
Can a UHaul Truck Tow A Car? Yes – but only if safety precautions are taken into account and local laws permit such an action.
