who knows the weight of an fj60?? (1 Viewer)

[Todd FJ40]

I need to trailer my vehicle back to the midwest and uhaul says I can't use their car carrier (max 4000lbs). but I have a hard time believing that it weighs that much. They said if I can get a printed copy of the weight under 4k then they'd ok it. anyone know for sure? thx

Well the VIN plate sez GVW=5360 lbs

Owners manual sez capacity(occupants & luggage)=900 lbs

sooooooooooo


approx 4460lbs


yeah too much for U-haul

your only other choice is to get it weighed and pay for a certificate

freight terminal, truck stop etc

my 62 weighs a lot. But I do know it is over 4k.

UHaul has some silly policies, but I do not think you are going to find anything written that will say it weighs under 4K. Maybe you could remove the motor and ship it separately? I think the 2F weighs about 3,200 lbs!

Would this be an African or European 60?



Sorry, couldn't resist.

My 60 is approx 4800 lbs according to the local rock quarry scale.

Tell Uhaul that you are towing a Geo Metro. Unless they follow you home, who's to know but you.

Dang is that all? I didn't think a stock HJ61 weighed that much more. My dump NET weight is usually 2510kgs. 5530lbs (minus me) = 5330lbs.

EDIT just found some more dump receipts.

My Westfalia weighed 2540kgs


Towed it on a U-Haul car carrier behind a U-Haul truck.

But they can handle it. I hauled my HJ60 back from toronto (about 9hrs) on a uhaul trailer behind my friend's duramax....ZERO problems. at speeds up to 90mph it was very stable. ( not smart i know, the truck was new my friend wanted to see what it could do).

I just told them i was hauling an old saab.

PS: I DO NOT SUPPORT THE BEHAVIOR DESCRIBED ABOVE.

i also told u-haul that i was going to tow a sedan and hauled my cruiser about 9 hours without any problems. it can be done, although, for the record i don't condone such behavior either.

curbweight = 4,255 lbs., provided it is still all OEM....

Hey, 1800 of those pounds are the trailer so all you have left is 2200 pounds to work with.
