I'm not a fan of u-haul counter workers. I have a Toyota Highlander with the tow package which is factory rated at 5000 lbs. I tried to rent one of their car haulers to haul a 914. Their computer said that the towing combination was acceptable but the counter guy didn't want to rent it to me anyway saying he didn't think my highlander could tow that much. I basically asked him why he was working the counter at u-haul if he was such a f-ing genius who was smarter than the engineers at Toyota and u-haul combined. It got a bit heated until a manager came over and approved the rental.
