Transporting an M1009

Another thing. UHaul may not 'let' you haul the M1009 on the trailer. Go to their website and type in all your vehicle info to find out. If it denies you then theres always the 'Oh ya its an S10 Blazer' when they ask.

I reserved the trailer over the phone and told them I needed the silver deck trailer. They didn't have a problem with an 86 Blazer.

Grab a medium tow bar, pull the drive shafts and head home.

I towed my '09 back from pa to li about 400 miles and I rented the trailer from Uhaul. I didn't have a problem getting the trailer...then again I told them I was towing a '69 Camaro lol. As for getting the truck on the trailer GL made it a lot easier to manage they helped pull it on the trailer with a fork lift but had to load it backwards because the front was a little wider then the back. Even then the front tires were muffin topped over the sides. Towed it back with a 01 suburban, it was a long ride but took it slow and made it eventually.

Medium towbar is the way to go they pin right onto the front clevis mounts putting no weight on the tow vehicle therefore no light steering on the tow vehicle. I used to pull home 1009s this way the last 1028 I bought was towed home this way the tow vehicle never knew it was back there.

Dont tell uhaul what your hauling their max on trailer is 3500 lbs.

Towbars are great unless the tires on the toad suck. With known tires I take the towbar every time. With unknown tires I take the "C" note trailer. ("C" note trailer, a car trailer I bought 10 years ago for $100. Been all across this great nation.)

Hi guys,

I'm planning on using a tow bar to tow home my new purchase. Do you have to remove both drive shafts from an M1009 or can you just put the transfer case into neutral?

Depends on how far you need to tow it. Neutral works for short distances.

Pulling the rear driveshaft for long distance. With the front hubs unlocked the front shaft doesn't need to be removed.

That's what I'll do. Thank you for your help, Warthog!

My father-in-law and I went to French Camp, CA to pick up my new M1009 CUCV. We removed the drive shaft, pumped up the tires to 40psi, and towed it home with a "Blue Ox" tow bar. It pulled like a dream behind my Expedition.

I found an "equipment record folder" inside the truck and learned that it was a range control vehicle from Fort Hunter Liggett, CA. I sne t them a message asking if they could give me a run-down on what it was used for on the post.
