What Tow Vehicle Do You Need for a Moving Trailer Rental
Most full-size pickup trucks and larger SUVs handle moving trailer rentals without issue. Mid-size trucks and some crossover SUVs can tow smaller trailers, but the tow rating needs to be confirmed against the weight of the loaded trailer before committing. A vehicle's tow rating is listed in the owner's manual and on the door jamb sticker. The fully loaded trailer weight, not just the trailer's empty weight, needs to stay within that rating.
Beyond tow ratings, the hitch receiver size on the tow vehicle needs to match the trailer coupler. Most moving trailers use a 2-inch ball, which fits standard 2-inch receiver hitches on full-size trucks and SUVs. If there is any uncertainty about hitch compatibility or tow rating, bringing the vehicle information to the rental conversation at Big Rentals resolves it before the trailer rental is confirmed.
