Default Uhaul & Budget (travel trailer)?

Do you think a travel trailer would work on my car....
My fanily is moving from Nashville, Tennessee to Newark, New Jersey and we need one.
We have a Buick Rendezvous
Here's a picture of one like ours:

Does it have a hitch or tow package installed? I checked yahoo autos and it says an 07 is rated to tow 2000lbs meaning realistically it belongs on a trailer not towing one. Simple way to find out is go to uhauls website and enter your vehicle it will tell you what they'll let you tow or not.

you would have to check in your owners manual to see how much weight your vehicle can pull. that looks like it may be a 4 cylinder so i am going say that towing with it is not a good idea. you should rent a u haul truck and car dolly and put the car on the dolly behind the truck

Call your local U-Haul dealer, and they'll tell you how big a trailer your car can tow.

Buick Rendezvous GTW for towing is 3,500
look on your coupler for your travel trailer and it will
tell you the GTW for your travel trailer.
Coupler is what sits on top of the ball the attached to the draw bar the inserts into your hitch.That is installed on your vehicle underneath.
GTW=gross total weight which includes the whole
travel trailer and everything you put in it.
You might be able to do a weight distribution bar on vehicle depending on what type of hitch you have installed.
