I have towed the 6x12 Uhaul trailer from Sac to LA and back with no problems and that includes going up the grapevine. The trailer having brakes really helps. If you need a new hitch, look into a receiver hitch (junkyard or ebay) that will bolt up to the frame and an adjustable drop hitch. This way you can adjust the trailer so its level which helps when pulling in and out of gas stations so you wonÆt drag the back end of the trailer.

For trailer lights, look for the adapter kit that plugs into you tail lights so you wonÆt have to cut any wires. Look for Hoppy p/n 43315 or Valley p/n 33315 for your t-connector, about $35 - $40.

Also, when you rent from Uhaul, they donÆt like renting trailers to those with 4 cyl engines. They wouldnÆt rent me a tow dolly for that reason. I went to another place and said I had a V6 and drove out with the dolly.
