Does anyone know if the xkr will go onto a uhaul car trailer? I'm looking to buy a truck about 3hr away since my engine exploded this past weekend in my excursion. Challenge is I need a way to get both vehicles back. I figured if I can just rent a car trailer that xkr will go onto, I can trailer it back.

 

Happened to me in CA with a Volvo 1800ES wreck, a fairly low car. I rented a truck and auto trailer combo, not U-Haul. Trailer had long loading ramp and was fairly low itself. No scrapping issues. But if you are concerned take a couple of 4ft long 2x8s as ramp extenders.

 

OR, park the rear wheels of the tow vehicle on top of something tallish, say a few boards, flattish rocks, or a mound of dirt or old clothes. Heck, thick enough roadkill would work. That will raise the tongue of the trailer which makes the rear lower, decreasing the angle of the ramps.

 

That reminds me of when I emigrated and brought my X308 XJR with me. They had to jack the flat bed truck up to get the car in to the container.

We got there in the end but there were a few tense moments!

 

You could do like this fellow, by putting the tires of the trailer in a ditch.

Thanks for hte feedback. the 2x8's seem like the most reliable way to go, can't really hunt for a ditch whenever i'm traveling just to load the jag. I was going to set up some track days this spring/summer and trailer to/from, but having to locate a ditch everywhere i go isn't a very viable long term option. I guess i need to shop for a car trailer that I can actually drive on and off from normally.
