My trick of backing the trailer (or truck) into a ditch to get the rear end low works well. The Uhaul trailer is only 1 foot off the ground to begin with so high centering the car is not an issue.
Using a truck is a great idea. (I have a 1 ton chev. express van and I am pretty sure that a 600 will fit in the back and the doors will close. I have a huge cargo area.)
