I have hauled cars thousands of miles. Before I bought my current car trailer, I rented a UHaul to tow a 1967 Olds Culass Station wagon 100 miles (4000 lb car like a camaro). It was a nightmare! Over engineered, no way, Overbuilt, very much so! Surge brakes are horrible. The weight placement is all wrong unless you are towing with a 1 ton or larger truck. I almost got into a huge wreck on the interstate because the weight was so out of whack it started wagging and next thing I knew I was going across 3 lanes of a 2 lane highway. Lucky I started to go uphill again and it straightened itself out. 40 mph going downhill was too fast before the wagging would start again. I will never ever rent one of those things again! Soon after I bought a JB enterprises full steel deck car trailer(1994) and towed it all over the US with no problems! I wore out 2 sets of tires on that trailer and still have it going strong! I would drive my ZL1 in calcium chloride soaked slush before loading it on a UHaul! Just for info, my tow vehicle was a 1970 442 W-30 with a reese hitch (which are rated for class 2 towing from the factory). Towed tractors and all sorts of trucks and other equipment with that car and the new trailer with no problems. Don't wreck your car with a UHaul! Either drive it, or buy a good trailer! At least find someone who will let you borrow a good trailer!
