Anyone ever haul a Mark on a U-haul car hauler?
Guys, I'm trying to decide what to do, I need to transport one of my two Marks and can't decide on the U-haul car hauler for $50 a day or if I would rather rent a 20' Car trailer from this other place for $60 a day.
What do you guys think? Bare in mind that I have the 1.5" drop coils on the car and I've high-centered on car trailers before. The 20' has long solid ramps so I know it would work but I've never used the u-haul hauler before and don't know how those things are.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

If it is one of those Uhaul trailers with only the tracks where the wheels go I would shy away.
The absolute shortest trailer you can put a Mark on is a 16' trailer and there will be left over Mark hanging off both ends...

No, not one of the car dollies, I don't trust any of the tires on the car so I want all four wheels on a trailer!

I think I'm just going to spend the extra $10 and get the 20' trailer, it has like 4' ramps, if not longer, on it and it's solid all the way across.

It's a trailer with all four wheels on the trailer, but instead a solid bed it just has two channels for the tires to go in...
I'd spend the $10 and get the real deal....

I've hauled my VIII with my 20' car trailer. I'm lowered probably just slightly more say 2" with a sensor drop. I had to spread the ramps wide as could to get the chin to clear and the middle of the car was real close to touching on the way up. Load it slowly and carefully. I've seen those U-haul trailers with the car hangin of both ends, I wouldn't do it.

I put my friends Camaro on my trailer and used my floor jack under the trailer jack to turn into a semi "tilt" trailer so that the front end would clear....

I drove my f250 up on two ramps to change the angle so that my supra tt (don't have that car anymore) would clear
