also you may not need much of a drop with uhaul.
I rented a utility trailer with ramp and only had a 2" drop receiver handy. yes it was slightly nose high but only slightly.

uhaul raises their noses a little bit on those custom trailers. (uhaul trailers are sought after, for being cheap durable, and incredibly hard to get)
That will depend on the vehicle actually. After i had my lift(not to be confused with leveling kit) installed with 32,s I had to have a 8 inch drop hitch for any Uhaul to work for my truck.

I've used Uhaul trailers a couple of times over the years. I'm still baffled that they let me rent their biggest double axle trailer with my 98 Ranger 4-banger. Pretty sure that was too much trailer for that truck.

I once got a flatbed landscaping-type trailer to get a load of dirt to fill a sinkhole in my yard.

Both of those trailers had surge brakes.

I got a Penske vehicle hauler on my last big move for my Honda Fit and I pulled it behind a 26ft Penske box truck. Honestly don't remember what kind of brakes that one had.

I rented the largest Uhaul and it had surge brakes.

My Ranger handled tow duties like a beast!!!! I had that trailer loaded to capacity, as well as the bed of my truck, and the back seat of the cab. As we got into South Florida, traffic was flowing fast and I was keeping pace and was able to change lanes like boss!
