I need to move some furniture and things from my Dad’s home in SC to MD, about a 450 mile one way drive. I considered flying down and renting a one-way UHaul truck or just driving down with my 2018 Outback 3.6r and renting a one-way trailer. I have a hitch receiver on my Outback, but I will need to purchase a hitch mount and ball.
I don’t need a large trailer so the 4’X 8′ or 5’X 8′ should suffice for the amount of stuff I need to transport. My concern is towing capacity. The small UHaul trailers do not have brakes. The manual says for a trailer without brakes, it is a 1000lb total. The UHaul webpage says it is 900lbs empty. So if I am reading this correctly, I can only carry 100lbs in cargo. That obviously won’t work for my needs. Has anyone used a small UHaul trailer on an Outback? What are your experiences and can I do this? Thanks in advance!
