Default Truck rental?

Does anyone know where to rent a truck to tow my boat?
I have done it with my jeep the last couple of years but want to use something a little bigger. Went online found nothing, call U-haul and all those other places they said no towing. So what do you know. :?:

The last truck I rented, because mine was in for service had a tow hitch
I believe it was budget rent a car, I think most car rental agencies rent large SUV's also, most come with hitches installed from the manufacture

But will they let you tow? The last thing I would need is a problem and then have them say I wasn't supposed to be towing. I am calling rentals now.

Thanks,
Dave


No deal. :???:

Verado,

No one will let you tow. I tried everywhere. You would think someone in the entire world would rent you a truck to tow a boat, but not the case.

Q,Q,

He is not sure if he can do it now. He is working on it, but I need options. I am not going to be without my boat this winter because I don't golf. :lol: :lol:

I have some other friends who can do it. I just have to get them to commit.

None of the big carriers allow boat towing. I can look into bootleg trailering. I would be like a gangster. :afro:
