We are purchasing a used/new to us 5th wheel but my 3/4 ton truck is not going to be enough truck to pull the trailer. The trailer is 40' and weighs approx. 14,000 pounds. Previous owner pulled the trailer with a F350.
I was wanting to rent a truck to go pick the trailer up and bring to our home where we will park it till I can do some repair work on it. We are in northern Illinois and the trailer is currently in South Carolina.
Any suggestions where I could rent a truck?
Thanks,
Phil
Phil, I've never seen a pickup for rent with a GN or FW hitch available. You'd likely have to go to a Class 8 to find a rental, then have a CDL to drive it. Like the others have said, find someone to haul it for you or check the unloaded weight of the trailer and use your current truck. I know I probably would, and I have less payload than you do. Take it easy and stop often.
