Shiny ... so a flatbed is substantially more than the U-haul? I'm not familiar with local rates ... my 1100 miles trip the U-haul cost $700.

I found the trailer brakes to work very well. The trailer they gave me was a tank, and in very good condition. They weigh every bit of 2000 lbs.

Do you know what rear end is in the truck? I wouldn't think 70 miles would present any problem at all unless they are all uphill, or any really steep grades.

The trailer was all of 2 feet wider than my GTO, has to be a foot wider than your truck.

Here is a link to the specs of their auto trailer:

I had absolutely zero sway of any kind. I had several butt puckering moments on the trip and the trailer behaved beautifully, it was more composed than I was.

For only 70 miles I wouldn't hesitate, go as slow as you want. If it's only $150 more to hire a flatbed ... I personally would go with the flatbed, mostly just to avoid trailer pickup, drop-off, loading, unloading.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't need puckering and honestly, that's my biggest concern. I'm sure it's not unique, but I-25 traffic through Denver is 75 mph in a 55 zone until it instantly stops, with 10% of drivers failing to notice, let alone accept it. We have seen an average of 3 accidents between here and our new house on every trip. It's like a video game every time, without towing. There are slower routes, though, so that would be the plan.

Good questions and good point about cost vs hassle. I paid about $600 to have it hauled last fall from Montrose to Centennial by a transporter. U-Haul will be about $150 for the shorter move.

I will try to get some quotes for a local hauler. Any advice on finding one? Broker or towing companies?? Is there a directory or online posting site for independent haulers?
