Hey Steve, it can be done. Uhaul has a deal where if you pick up the trailer and return it the same day, the cost is $49.95. There is a $50 dollar deposit, but you get it back. BTW, you will have to lie. Tell them you are towing a 98 Saturn SL1 with a bad transmission.

As you can see, it has been done. The mains on a MF 65 set right over the tandems on the trailer. This tractor weighs 4000+lbs dry and it had 8 gallons of tranny lube, 2 gallons of coolant, two fully loaded tires, and 4 wheel weights per side. It also had a metric sh1tload of dirt and filth. Not sure, but I might have been over the 4000 lb max. The hydraulic brakes on the trailer are awesome and seem to be tuned really well. The trailer is overbuilt, but only comes with front tire tie downs. Bring extra rigging to secure your rig properly. Oh, for a truck, promise a friend a steak dinner and a full tank of gas and he will likely jump at the offer. Good Luck, Not me.
