Towing Your Vehicle
At Penske, we help you move all of your belongings, even your vehicle. To make your moving day hassle-free, please check the following descriptions to determine whether a tow dolly or car carrier is the right choice to move your vehicle.
Tow Dolly
We recommend a Penske
tow dolly for front-wheel drive vehicles. The tow dolly lifts your vehicle’s front wheels off the pavement and pulls it behind your Penske rental truck. Tow dolly features include:
- Rubber torsion suspension axle
- Attached ramps for easy loading
- Three-point tie down strap system
- Solid ground wire harness eliminates electric shorts
- Maximum load capacity of 4,300 lbs.
Car Carrier
We recommend a Penske
car carrier for all-wheel and rear-wheel drive vehicles. The car carrier carries your entire car on a trailer that attaches to the rear of your Penske rental truck. Car carrier features include:
- FlexRide torsion suspension axle
- 84-inch ramp with 13.75 degree angle for easy loading
- Three-point tie-down strap system
- Solid ground wire harness eliminates electric shorts
- Maximum load capacity of 4,055 lbs.
Deciding which option is right for you can be confusing. To compare a tow dolly to a car carrier, review the
tire chart. More details are also available on the
tow dolly and/or
car carrier sections of our web site, and you can click here to
order a free instructional CD.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, contact your local Penske representative. At the time of rental, we’ll provide you with a detailed instruction guide and some useful safety tips. You’ll begin your move knowing your vehicle is safe and secure.
