Renting a pickup truck for moves has become a popular option lately. These trucks especially come in handy when your move is small. Not only do pickup trucks make a great moving vehicle, but there are also many other everyday pickup truck uses you can work into your lifestyle! From camping to gardening, check out all the different situations that a pickup truck can be used for.

Camping

If you’re planning a camping trip, a pickup truck is a great vehicle to take on your adventure! The bed of the pickup will fit everything you’ll need if you’re hauling a lot of camping supplies. Before you start loading, make sure you grab these items so you can properly secure your gear:

• tarp cover
• ratchet straps
• ropes and tie-downs

This will prevent everything from shifting during your trip, especially when you get to the unpaved roads.

You can also turn the bed of the truck into a base camp if you don’t prefer sleeping on the ground. There are many different pickup truck air mattresses that are perfect to use for camping trips. You can even use tents that’s are specifically made for pickup trucks if you would like to be covered while you are sleeping.

Gardening 

Need help transporting your plants from the garden center to your home? You don’t want to ruin your brand new plants by squishing them in your car or minivan, so putting them in a pickup truck would be the best option. No matter how tall your plants are, they will be able to fit in the bed of the truck without limitation. Make sure you also bring the right materials needed to transport your plants. Here are a few tips:

• Use a tarp cover to secure the plants from moving in the back of the truck.
• Take an old bed sheet or tissue paper and wrap your large plants to prevent the branches from breaking
• Place the pot of each plant into a moving box so they fit snug at the bottom.
• Punch air holes in the side of the box so the plants can breathe

These tips will come in handy when you get ready to prepare your yard or garden.

Home Improvement Projects

Making some improvements to your home can mean multiple trips back and forth to the store and your home. Whether you’re repainting your house, redoing your flooring, or remodeling a bedroom, there’s going to be a lot of materials needed to get the job done. With a pickup truck, you’ll be able to haul all of the items you need to improve your home in fewer trips. From tools, paint, and building materials, you’ll be able to load everything in the bed of the pickup truck with ease. Make sure you have a tarp cover and ratchet straps to secure all of your materials on your trip.

As you can see, pickup trucks can be used for much more than moving. There are many everyday pickup truck uses that you can implement into your life. We also offer special truck rental rates to customers who pick up and drop off at the same location, which is convenient if you are using your rental locally.

Our exclusive Mom's Attic® provides extra storage space above the cab to separate fragile items from the rest of your goods.

Ease of Loading and Unloading

Towing with a Rental Truck

Tow your Car Behind a U-Haul Moving Truck and Save!

For added convenience, U-Haul moving trucks are capable of towing your car on a car carrier. Even the 10' truck, which is the smallest moving truck you can tow with, can tow a vehicle and the 15' truck will tow up to 10,000lbs.

Need Extra Space? Add on a U-Haul Trailer

Only U-Haul offers rental trailers that can be towed behind the moving truck. Adding a rental trailer extends the amount of room you have to pack and allows you to keep your garage stuff and lawn equipment separate from your furniture.
