U-Haul ...No Way... Don't do it.... No Way!
I had U haul install a class 5 hitch (enough to tow a brand new 2700lb, 22 foot bow rider ans dual axle trailer) and they screwed it up royally. Upon hooking up the brand new trailer and boat (worth $35,000 back in 1999) for the first time I made it down to the set of lights in the center of town. Upon leaving the stop line when the light turned green the boat and trailer and hitch parted away from the truck crashing off on the side of the road. Actual no damage was incurred to the hitch / boat / trailer except some road rash. What I figured out in the end is that the mechanic at U haul had mixed some of the hardware (nuts and bolts) that came with the hitch (SAE UNC) with some of the hardware taken from the truck that held the bumper on (metric). The sizes were so close it was hard to tell the threads and the major diameter bolts were a slightly different diameter. But water under the bridge.
