This is a good point, however I have thought about selling the truck and decided against it. Money is tight, but I have wanted this for 3 years, and if I sold it now, I could not afford to buy one in Washington. (They are about twice the cost) Although I thank you for making the suggestion...

Thank you for the offer of help! I spoke to U-haul today, and they said that I can get my truck and a homemade hitch approved, however my roommate and I are thinking its best to just drive the mustang, fuel for it will cost less than the tow dolly or tow bar. Today I had to go get the...

Great and helpful post! Thank you, I think I will use a very similar design! My roommat is concerned that we will sheer those grade 8 bolts. I think he is a dumbass, but I figure a piece of steel welded to the back of hitch and bolted to the bottom of the frame would stop any of his concerns...

We're actually starting to lean more towards the idea of a tow bar for this reason. I have found some just like this for very inexpensive: LINK And I have found these brackets: LINK Yes, I know that picture does not show a 94 mustang, but its that style bracket. My question is if this...

Well, we are confident that we can construct a hitch for less than $100 total, and to rent a U-haul truck and trailer is over $1,000, before fuel. I think I need to look into other rental options, and/or maybe just go with a tow bar.

Our big fear with putting the mustang in the bed is that heaven forbid the truck doesnt make it, we have a broken truck and a heavy car trapped in it. Even still, we would need a small u-haul trailer for the 2 street bikes, 2 dirt bikes, and a few other belongings. This goes back to needing to...

Yes, I have questioned this also. I dont want to fabricate up a hitch, then show up and they say that I cant use my truck, but if I show up without a hitch at all, or try to show them a sketch of what I am going to use, they will dismiss me immediately.

I am trying to tow a 94 Mustang GT from riverside California to Tacoma Wa on a U-haul Tow dolly. Just 1200 miles of I-5. I am half tempted to just take the stock Pintle hitch off, use a large chunk of angle iron, making use of the two big bolts that already exist for the stock hitch, and...

Ok, I am making preparations to tow with my truck. Im trying to do it inexpensively, but Im not sure how to determine weight ratings on a home grown job, and Im not sure what U-haul will require to prove its weight capacity. The two most important requirements: Must have 1-7/8" or 2"...
