Transporting an M1009

[ThunderCracker]

Does anyone know if a stock M1009 will fit on one of the dual axle car haulers from Uhaul? I have been looking for the measurements of the CUCV, I must not be using the correct key words.

Well, if this helps any, i hauled mine from indianapolis to southern missouri in the back of my duece. It fits in there, just the tailgate wouldnt close all the way.

The dimensions are listed in the TM 9-2320-289-10 Operators Manual.



I have seen pictures of a M1009 on a uHaul. I seem to remember that the Budget trailers where slightly bigger.

Do and advanced search for "uhaul M1009 trailer" in the CUCV forum

I bet that was a cool sight to see.

I'm not sure about fitting on the trailer, but according to the TM the dimensions are 191.8x79.6x74.9 (LxWxH)

Thanks Warthog, I will compare them.

Looks like max width is 79.25" and max wheelbase of 133" for the Uhaul trailer.

I brought mine home on the smaller U-haul trailer. Would work even better on their larger trailer. They have a loop on the front that allows you to hook a come-along and rope or chain to winch the CUCV on if it won't start, and the staps fit over the stock size tires but with little room to spare.

Didn't think about wheelbase. 191.8 was total length...wheelbase is only 106.5.

Hi guys,

The M1009 dimensions are also on the data plate, located on the lower half of the
drivers door...

Look at the data plate for the measurements.

Good night....

Got mine home on a UHaul trailer. Barely fit between the wheel wells but it fit. The front tire straps were also close as far as getting them closed was concerned. After we got it loaded, it was a really easy tow home.

Thanks everyone. Looks like I should be good to go. I'm towing this with a Nissan Titan with a class IV hitch.

How far did you have to go? I will be going about 380 miles.

 

[ThunderCracker]

Country boy what were you towing with?

 

[skywalker6582]

If it helps any, I was towing with a Ford Excursion on Tennessee back highways at ~55mph with no issues. But I tow 9500 lbs routinely so towing the 6500 lbs combined CUCV and Uhaul trailer was no big deal. With your Titan, my main concern would be weight. Even with the trailer surge brakes it might push you around with sway, etc. If you have the factory trailer package you will probably be OK. I know some of the Titans are prepped for at least 7500 lbs towing, maybe more.

I went 250 miles. I made it towing with a 2001 GMC 1500. Definitely would've liked something bigger but I wasn't planning on towing home my M1009 that was listed as in running condition haha. Live and learn i guess.

Yeah this Titan has the towing package and says its rated for 10,000 hitch rating system.

Salt, looks like it just fit.
