M1009 and U-Haul tow dolly "duel"...

[mikev]

... tow dolly won, CUCV lost (too wide)...

Just wanted to tell everyone that my M1009 CUCV was 3" too wide to fit between the fenders on my personal ex U-Haul tow dolly.

It started to "fit" between the fenders and maybe would if I "forced it", but knew the dolly would not like it.

Most said it would not work and some said maybe - so, record me as telling the group, no it won't work if the dolly has its fenders on...

This has been posted before already, tow dollies will not work the any of the CUCV trucks. Also the older silver U-Haul flat trailer will only work, the newer one I believed does not.

They tow just fine when backed on i have done it.. Just make sure you lock the steering wheel

The latest and greatest U-Haul car trailer will work with the M1009 and M1008 with no problems. The M1008 rear tires will be approx 3-4" from the end though.

You have to order/reserve these trailers as they are far and few between...

I added a tow bar to mine. Bought it "used" for $50 bucks, still in the box and never used. It's the type where you just pull a couple of pins to release each side of the bar from the brackets on the truck. Works great.

It will work just fine with stock tires. We put 70lbs of air in them to make them stand taller.
Towed 400miles like this...

I towed my 09 with a UHaul dolly, it didn't fit well. I would not do it again. But it can be done.
