Trailering my truck
Trailering my truck
Looking to tow my truck and wondering if it will fit on a uhaul trailer. Or if there is somewhere else I can rent a trailer from that will fit it. It's a 97 ext cab short bed.
Thanks.
Thanks.

That looks like a no-go, a short bed Scab has a 139" wheelbase. Penske's trailers are even smaller, max 4050# and 125".
Towed vehicle requirements
Must not weigh in excess of 5,290 lbs.
Must have a maximum outside-to-outside tire width of 79.25" Note: outside tire width over 75" must use late-model U-Haul Auto Transport (identifiable by silver galvanized color).
Must have a maximum wheelbase (distance from front axle to rear axle, usually posted on the driver's side door jamb) of 133 inches.
Low-hanging equipment on the vehicle being towed such as spoilers, air dams, ground effects, etc., may be damaged by contact with the Auto Transport during loading and unloading. Make sure there is enough clearance for these items.

That's what I have been seeing. Trying to look at hertz equipment rentals. They have a ton. Just seeing if anyone has any other ideas. I would use my trailer but it is in Wyoming.
The four ton is the trailer that I was looking at. I can't remember I think it was 19.5 feet
