nitroxsteve Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Ok thanks What about pulling with factory dakota bumper or do i have to have a hitch. My truck has 235/75/15's and had plenty of strap left over on a Uhaul rental. Check your bumper it should have the tow capacity stamped in. If you are renting the dolley they will decide if your bumber will work or if you need a hitch. You can also go to the Uhaul website and plug in your tow vehicle and the vehicle in tow and see if it will allow you to rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 like said above, check the bumper the weight it can tow will be stamped on it. but remember, that's what a NEW bumper is rated for. the more rust it has, the less strength it's got. frankly, if you're towing anything heavier than a ford festiva on it, you really ought to have a class 3. just the trailer weighs 1/3 of most bumpers load capacities.

JeepcoMJ Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 check with whoever you're renting the dolly from. if you own the dolly, google it to find the specs. they all vary. mine weighs between 450 and 600 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I have been know to wrap the tire straps around the axle and put a couple extra straps on the TOWed to make a 33 work on a dolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnuck Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Uhaul usually won't rent a dolly to anyone with less than a 3/4 ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Uhaul usually won't rent a dolly to anyone with less than a 3/4 ton. Maybe your U-Haul. I have rented dollys in a few different places and towed it with my WJ. As long as it is not an open top Jeep or a Explorer and the vehicle being towed does not out weigh the tow rig they will rent them to you. I rented a dolly and towed it with a Intrepid from CA to GA.

87Warrior Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Where are you going with the load? I use Uhaul to move and haul things. They may not let you pull an MJ with a Dakota, but it really depends on what tow rating the Dakota has. The tow dolly straps are pretty well used up with a 30" tire. You may need to let air out of your tires, strap it down then add air to you tires (to protect the bead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
