How To Hook Up A U-Haul Trailer - Braked 

finally 1 uhaul employee that knows to cross the chains

Great explanation. I love this man.

Thanks for the info. and clear demonstration.

I just got done renting and using the 6X12 enclosed trailer and you have to be kidding it had NO tongue jack. I am fortunate that I have some jacks of my own I could use but the weight of this trailer is too much for most to lift by themselves when returning a trailer to an unattended site. Please put a jack on this thing.

Good job brother

Always connect the breakaway chain to a location on the frame. Not the same location you use for the 2 safety chains! And it's always a good idea to cross the safety chains so if the trailer did come off the ball it has a chance of it falling down and being supported by the crossed safety chains.

this guy must not like to turn with his trailers. there's a difference between dragging your chains and having ENOUGH slack to be able to make sharp turns.

@pureoffroad in case it falls off the safety chains would keep it close to the vehicle so no one gets hurt

@happy4579 had a similar problem from them before too. All the wiring did something it wasn't supposed to do, and the people working there only knew how to unplug the wiring, then replug it back in, saying "does it work now?".

I just rented U-haul 6'x12' double axle trailer and for my surprise there is no jack when I need to unhook ? So now I have to find a solution of this problem - and I ma not happy at all about that surprise.

@pureoffroad the safety chains would prevent any damage and or injuries

I need to back it up onto a hilly drive way. How do I bypass this surge brake?

Is this for 6x12 U-Haul trailers?

nice having a jack. Roxanne in customer service just told me that trailers don't come with jacks. I rented a 6 x 12 cargo today and will never use uhaul again. Hurt my back heaving that bloody thing up, ridiculous that it has no jack, not road worthy in my opinion just for that never mind having foot of snow on it. Maybe some day a customer having to stand on the fender to clear snow will fall and die or be paralyzed, I was lucky today. What is the point of a reservation if paper work is not ready, and trailer is froze to the ground covered in snow, then they charged me double for being 15 min early even though it took me an hour to hook the @#$% thing up. Jason at Uhaul wanted to argue with me about having snow on top being road worthy. I would like to disconnect the trailer and use my vehicle while its being unloaded, no way that even 4 men could lift that thing, that is another lawsuit waiting to happen. Very low bar for customer service and they do not even meet that low standard.

Does any of the uhaul trailers have an electric brake?

Thanks for the vid. What size hitch ball do I need for this model trailer?

Well organized presentation, but needs a lapel mic for better audio.

With how the brakes function, will the trailer brakes be actuaded when reversing?

dude, you could safely move a trailer home with that. My uncle relocated his trailer 3 miles away with an 86 f150. No problems besides a messed up bumper, and idk why he used the bumper

I thought the title of this video was How To Hook Up A U-Haul Trailer - Baked 🤣

i always wonder what the two black rubber things are behind the surge brake?

We rented a uhaul for a 1 way trip, to be dropped off at a location 30 miles north of final destination . We arrived at the return location an hour before we were required only to find out they no longer handled uhaul. We had to take the trailer another 1.5 hours north to the next closest uhaul dealer. Uhaul scheduled a drop off to a location who never even handled their products any longer. We arrived at the second location at 2pm only to find an unattended lot with a phone number on the fence, no humans around. 4 hour round trip to return a trailer? Get it together uhaul

Wouldn't The surge breaking prevent you from backing up because the brakes would press on

He said it right, this part of the contraption.

wow that hitch looks dangerous and prone to coming off if that square loosens off. in the uk the trailers we use have an auto locking hitch so once the ball goes into the hitch it snaps down and won't come off unless you hold a lever and lift the handle. also we don't use chains they have a small sort of winch cable on that attachs to the tow car chassis and if the trailer comes off it pulls the cable and jams on the brakes on the trailer.

I work at you before part time I should have stayed there.

can i haul a small bot cat with this trailer., thanks

Uhaul will charge me $250 to disconnect the trailer for roadside assistance and then another $250 to reconnect and they can't say when they will arrive. :( So I'm here now, trying to see how to disconnect by myself. My 6'x12' doesn't even have a jack or wheel chalks so, that's a lot of problems.

Will uhaul put a hitch on my car

If you have to buy all those connectors for what could be a single rental, this makes for an expensive trailer rental. U-Haul should rent out these items as part of the package..

Why does the chain hookup at 4:15 look like it's wrong?

NEVER TWIST A CHAIN! also, if there isnt enough slack in the saftey chain, and you make a tight turn SNAP it goes. and my 7.5x16' flat bed is so much easier to hook up, and its easy as hell to hook up a trailer by your self... i do all the time. on the first try too.

All this to hook up a 1500 trailer lol. Travel trailers are easier than this.

Look at that janky ass UB trailer! 1:35

ITS FUNNY HE IS HITCHING AN AUTO TRANSPORT TO A fORD fLEX. i dont't think the flex meets their parameters for towing one.

I can teach you how to setup a mic on your camera

If you do it by yourself I need you to download, read ,understand and follow the instructions. Unless of course your an idiot then we will rent you the trailer anyway because we just want to make money.

It's 2022........I have no point. I just wanted to say it's 2022.......

Uhaul SUCKS.. what they do and dont let you rent with your vehicle...
