I think that some of the problem with that particular truck and trailer rental company lies with the individual franchise holder......when I returned here to WV, I used one of their largest trucks and a vehicle trailer to pull my F-150 (fully loaded with cargo, of course)......Ed, the owner of the Hardware Store/Rental Agency allowed me to choose which vehicle that I wanted to use before he typed up the contract....he also steered me away from a couple of vehicles that were in lousy repair, in his opinion, and unsuitable for interstate travel....

Also of note: If you want to rent a trailer to bring home your latest prized MB find....."U Haul" will not rent a trailer to pull a W123 behind an F-150....because they claim that the car is heavier than the tow vehicle......my F-150 has a factory trailering package.....and has towed many a boat to the launch.....when I tried to do this rental, I told the rental agent..."no problem, I'll just put a couple of scoops of sand in the bed"....he said no....but he did tell me that I could come back later and tell him that I wanted to pull a different "lighter" model of car.....this I did not do.....try going to the U-Haul website and type in the vehicles in my sig.....it keeps coming up that you need to rent a truck from them......
