Towing 10 camaro on U-haul auto transporter

I'm going to towing my '10 Camaro via U-Haul auto transporter with a 14' U-Haul truck. Need to know what the clearance (if any) is needed to drive the camaro onto the transporter. Has anybody done this and come shed to advise. Moving by to Florida on 12/21.

Should have no problems. Only thing may need a couple 2x12s to extend the ramps.

Some other things you can do to reduce the angle is - if it has a tongue jack, you can jack that way up. Or drive the back tires of the tow vehicle up onto some boards, that will raise the front of the trailer and reduce the load angle. And get some T-hooks from a trailer supply store. That way you will be able to use the factory oval frame slots for tie down.

And I would go for a Penske truck, all of the Uhauls I have had experience with are usually a big POS.

IROCanSS is right you will more than likely need the 2x12s.

Can't you just set up a dirt ramp on the other side of a ravine and "Dukes of Hazzard" onto the trailer?

I am about to attempt this exact setup, except for an extra payload of a black stripe on the hood.

How did it handle going down the road??
