Trailering a Camaro - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Has anyone trailered their Camaro on a U-Haul trailer (not the tow dolly, the kind you drive it up on)? I'm going to pick my 2015 SS up next week and wanted to see if anyone had done this and ran into any fitment issues. The U-Haul website says it will fit but looking for someone with personal experience with these specific trailers.

The specific trailer I am looking at is:

Thanks in advance!

I have to ask, why trailer?

Make sure you get the XL trailer. UHaul is notorious for telling you they have what you need and then not having it when you arrive. Its the raw aluminum looking one not the red one. You may need to put a 2x12 under the front tires to get the lip to clear the front of the trailer. I used a Dodge 2500 and had no issues other than loading. Needed to get the trailer ramp angle kinda flat to get the car up. Of course I'm lowered a little. Other than no issues.

I knew that would probably be the first question... It's about a 4 hour trip away and I can't drive there and drive both vehicles back.

Not an option to fly and drive back, it'll get plenty of miles on it once I get home with it..

Best of luck trailering her home...

Bring a buddy and have them drive your other vehicle back, or pay for their gas and then drive your Camaro home. Probably would be cheaper than the trailer.

Thanks guys for the advice but there's no way I can get it done without doing the trailer option, yes it completely sucks, but is my only option.

Thanks MP51998 for answering - Good info and I appreciate it!

Yes, the Camaro does fit on their car hauler trailer. I hauled a friend from New Orleans to Indianapolis on one.

Make sure the fold down fender is in good shape when you pick the trailer up.

Find a favorable place to load it and have someone watch the front end to make sure you don't drag the fascia...

I trailered my sons 4th gen when him and his friends broke down in LA. no problem. Well, just 1. forgot he had 5 people, so my wife and I in my Avalanche, 3 of his buddies in my back seat, him and his girl in the Camaro on the trailer. Limo Tint, and night time, so LE didnt notice. I just had to drive careful...

It will fit. Ive done it with my zl1 and ss. So has a friend of mine. Definately cruise well at 74 mph.

Do those trailers have a winch? What happens if car doesn't start
