[cerbomark]

Haven t been here in a while but I may be back. Thinking about transporting if I buy something. Don t want to ship or buy unseen car so.... I have a new Ram 1500 so does u haul have a trailer that a mustang will fit on correctly. If I get lucky maybe I can find a local car but planning for finding a car out of the area. Thanks.

The M1 HP fits the Uhaul trailer. Will need some race ramps or a 2x12, but it will go on. And then park the front wheels on top of the 2x12's as well to clear the front lip of the trailer.

1500 with a Hemi 5.7 or 6.4?

5.7

5.7

My ex-wife had a 2012 4x4 crew cab sport with a 5.7 Hemi and it was rated to tow 10,900lbs. I towed our 9,800lb camper with it and it did a reasonable job. According to the site I'll link below, the u-haul car trailer empty weighs about 2,200lbs depending on model. So you should be around 6,500 lbs or less with a Mustang in tow. You should be alright.

Edit: forgot the link..

The above was a 2004 Ford V-10 6.8L tow truck. And only used to haul heavy loaded trailers, appliances and color TV's.

We got to move these refrigerators, we got to move these color TVs
Looky here, look out

It fits on Uhaul auto transport. Like @WItoTX said you will need boards for the splitter to clear and to get up the ramp. I would suggest borrowing or buying straps because the ones on the trailer may come loose. I bought straps with the ford performance tie down kit. Works great.

there are a few videos on YouTube that show how to load a Mustang.

I used a uhaul one time. It messed up my splitter, and I bought a trailer after that.

I say Road Atlanta is a great track. It doesn't matter how you got there. You must know the race line. It forgives most mistakes except T-12. You miss it and your car will hit the tire wall and bounce out into race traffic. Not good.

Thanks for all the advise. Want to be ready if a non local car is purchased.

Lol. I would be lying if I said I didn’t look on Facebook marketplace for trailers after the road Atlanta trip. Living in an apartment and engine rebuild is keeping the temptation away

How do you do it without a garage?

My garage here has blue and red paint stains on the floor from car wrecks (their fault) and repainted here. I always parked my big trailer at a friend's place or at a local RV lot.

I remember destroying a transmission at Watkins Glen with no spare. Some racers helped me push the car in the trailer after the track towed me to my trailer. I bought a spare transmission and then no more issues.
