MOVIN 1200 Miles
Anybody ever move their C5 with Budget Rental's 2 axle trailer? Any issues? Pulling it with their 24' Box truck. Tried Penske but was told C5 won't fit on their car hauler. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I moved twice with a U-haul 26' truck with their car trailer behind it for 1700 miles each time with a C4.
I took the front air dam off and found a slope so that the trailer ramps were not angled as much for loading and unloading. It worked well for both trips. I suspect a C5 will be similar. Just take a good look at the front and take some care and/or find a way to load it without scraping and you should be good to go.
Good luck.

As long as you can load it safely and the trailer is rated for the car, should be no problems. Good luck and have a safe move.
