FR-S on U-Haul Trailer

[3nl]

Alright, I thought I'd post some more information. On the smallest U-Haul trailer (not dolly), on flat ground, a bone stock 2015 FR-S does NOT have the clearance to get on the trailer.

The car will make it about 1/3 of the way onto the trailer and the bottom will hit. Not "scrape" a little bit of the plastic, but full on back wheels will come off the ramps not make it. Thankfully, once I got close to not clearing, I checked to make sure I wasn't going to hit shit and as soon as it touch I didn't rip anything.

In order to make it onto the trailer, you need a hill or a curb to get the ramps about 6" the ground.

Also, when you pull forward to the front of the trailer, watch the tie down point on the drive side under the bumper. It has to be to the right of the wheel stops.

Finally, you may want to put down a piece of wood or something about 1/2" thick against the wheel stops back to the strap attachment point. Your bumper will scrape the wheel stops (not the rubber extensions either) - and when you back off, it will scrape the underside of the bumper lightly.

Also, use your parking brake getting onto and off of if you have an MT unless you feel like burning the shit out of your clutch. You can inch forward like a ratchet.
