My DD/Towrig went out on me today 200 miles from home, and now I need to figure out a way to get it back. It needs to be brought to the dealership here. Ive got a trailer it will fit on, but no tow rig. Would renting a U Haul and using my trailer and towing the truck on it (total truck and trailer weight 8900 pounds)

Any other ideas? Im not wanting to foot a huge tow bill.

I would say go for it. My buddy is a licenced uhaul dealer that does referials over the phone. Give him a call, (208)290-1608. He can make a reservation and meet and beat any price out there. Just tell him that mike stevens refered you, I am sure he will get you a good deal if he hears it is comming from me. I would say go for one of the bigger trucks available though, I think the gvwr is 18,000 on those.:)

I've yet to see a U-haul truck with a real receiver and not a ball attached to the trucks bumper.

don't you have any friends? I would not hesitate to go get a buddies truck and have on many occasions.... and my friends have done the same for me on a few occasions as well... Haole even went ot Vegas to get my Jeepster with a borrowed trailer once :) Hell if I wasn't leaving for Dusy this weekend, I'd even consider heading up the coast and hauling it for ya if you hadn't figured it out by then...

Anyways, another thought... will it fit inside a u-haul? ;)

Sorry Sherpa... went south not north. It was in Agoura Hills. Got it today with an 06 Denali 6.0.... as stated on here by other people.... these things rock for towing.
