When I bought my 1974 vega (drag car project) I rented a U-Haul trailer and they would not let me have it till I proved my tow vehicle (08 1/2t V-6 silverado) was heavier than the car I was going to tow. At first they were not going to let me have it because of the v-6. Then I told them the vega had no drive train and they saiid ok. Thought it was all kind o silly till I made the trip. Man that vega and trailer were heavier than I thought. Never went over 45 mph. Just to sketchie.
