Using Uhaul trailers?

[nkw8181]

So I've used uhaul trailers for the 818 but needed custom ramps and step ups to keep the front from hitting. It looks like this isn't necessary with the Daytona. Is this true? Do I need to build anything special to pull the Daytona with a uhaul trailer?

Before I purchased my own trailer, I used a uHaul trailer twice with my Roadster. I found that the trailers that I rented had an open center section and a lower rear frame which allowed the low points at the center of the car to slide right by during loading. I can't speak directly to the Daytona, but I understand the suspensions and running gear are substantially similar, though I believe the wheel bases are different. I had no real issues loading the roadster on the uHaul trailer. You might go to the rental location, explain your problem, and look at the trailers they have. If they have the open center and lowered rear frame, I would expect that you are good to go. Good luck, and safe travels.

I've had several roadsters delivered &/or picked up on U-Hail trailers. You can greatly flatten out the approach and departure angle by raising the tongue of the trailer. Keep it hooked to the tow vehicle so that the trailer doesn't move when loading or unloading and raise it by using a floor jack under the hitch platform or ball.

Just did what Jeff described yesterday picking up my 289 from the body shop. Worked well.
