Anyone ever rented an U-Haul car trailer to take the ZL1 to the track?
Any experiences/feedback welcome. Looks like the ZL1 might be a bit low to load on a standard ZL1? cheers cirpower

The u haul trailers are a giant PITA to be honest with you! I learned the hard way. Look in the back of this picture, you’ll see the ramps i had to build for my m3. |

I'll second the removal of the stops on the trailer in front of the tires, and race ramps. I was lowered with 285/305's and a 1LE splitter, and ZL1 rockers. I will also suggest a good look at the trailer tires. We sat on the side of the hi-way for 3-4 hours waiting for the contracted tire service for Uhaul to show up while on our way to Watkins Glen. I even asked for a spare when picking up the trailer!! FWIW I did like the fold out/fold down trailer fender for better door swing

Used one and loved it!
‘16 SS, it hit the stops at the front, but was easy to unload by pulling up on the front end as someone slowly backed off the trailer, I just lifted up on my tow hook and it worked perfect. Smoothest trailer pull I’ve ever had No hidden fees. Declined the insurance. |

You spent a lot of money on a car and trailers are cheap, just buy a nice trailer and don't put your car on a shit beat to hell uhaul please. This new was $2250 with brakes, led lights and steel deck, I added etrack for wheel straps and built a rock guard and can confidently pull down the highway with the cruise set at 85mph knowing the trailer is in good shape and the last person to use it didn't smash it into every curb on the road like a rental.
