Answer
FIRST OF ALL, I am not bashing U Haul but read the article I have linked here

Ok,  I assume that you have been on the web site for renting trailers from U Haul..  If you did the check list on your vehicle, did they say you could tow those trailers...

U Haul has spent a lot of time and money to create a book / program on what can and can not be done with their equipment.  BUT remember that you are using their equipment and they have created the guidelines to be safe and to also protect you..  

I know I did not provide much of an answer but its what they tell you can be done, I can not override them on it..

Sorry
