Can anybody recommend a place where I can rent a truck and trailer? It's not driveable, and I'm going to need to take it to Banzai, which is about 100 miles from where I live, so paying a towing company would not be an option. I figure I can set this up at a u-haul, but a moving van seems a little excessive. All I need to rent is a pick-up truck with a tow hitch and a trailer, somewhere in the chicago/northwest Indiana area.

Have any of you guys done this for your 7? And if so, please share any recommendation that you might have.

Thanks in advance.

 

i've towed a 7 on a tow dolly and on a steel flatbed trailer. It all depends on the truck you're pulling with. if you haven't towed a car before, the lightest combo would be your best bet. problem is, you're going to have issues with ground clearance on a tow dolly. If you can find an aluminum flat bed trailer, that would probably be your best bet.

 

Thanks--I've already towed the 7 twice before: once with a moving van, and another with a '96 Toyota Landcruiser, both times on a flatbed.

What I'm trying to find out is if Chicago area forum members know of a one-stop shop where I can rent both a pick-up truck and a flatbed. Seems like the rental car places only rent pick up trucks and the moving companies that rent the flatbeds only rent moving trucks. I guess I'm looking for a best of both worlds.

 

Sorry, guess i misunderstood what you were asking.

 

No worries--Enterprise rents pickups--I'll have to see if they are equipped with tow hitches.

 

they don't rent with tow hitches. I have looked into that a few years ago. But now I just have my own truck and race car hauler. =)
