Truck that I will pulling with is no problem, Chevy CK2500 Silverado Extended Cab with v8 and auto with frame hitch. Agree, wont haul without trailer brakes, what I posted as the weight and such came off the U-Haul page - they did not mention brakes. Been looking around NW Burbs of Chicago to rent a trailer and this is closest I have come up with so far. Interesting on the dont tell them what your going to haul, friend of mine needed to rent a truck to move his travel trailer, when he mentioned it at U-Haul because he inquired about ball size, counter person said U-Haul policy is only pull U-Haul trailers with U-Haul trucks. He mentioned that when he called noone mentioned that, the counter person inquired in the back and the response was, "what do we know what they pull when the truck leaves here, the hitch is welded on..." Beginning to think it might work out better anyway to have someone haul it - been quoted around 1.10-1.25 per mile - 290 miles - trailer is 50.00 a day, will need for two days, now add fuel and wear and tear..... .. But anyone has a lead on trailers in Chicago please let me know....seems like Ryder only has open deck and Penske does not rent flat trailers. Thanks, Jim
