Drawn to scale. The door is 9" lower than the inside, so tall pieces have to be tilted in.

Room inside is length × width × height of the cargo box; U‑Haul quotes 764 cu ft, measured its own way (including the space over the cab).

Each home size is a typical furniture list plus the box counts from a moving guide. Our packing fills about 70–80% of a truck; a careful pro load fits more.

Will big items fit?

Tightest fits first. Headroom is the space left above it as loaded; at the door is the clearance getting it in.

Notes on these numbers

SOURCE CAVEAT: every uhaul.com fetch returned ECONNRESET; all values come from WebSearch results that quote uhaul.com pages (the search tool returns a summarized answer with quoted fragments, not the raw page), so check asWritten punctuation against the live page before publishing. U‑Haul states all rental truck and trailer measurements are approximate. EZ-Load ramp, width 2'2". outsideHeight is 'Clearance Height'. Deck disagreements: U‑Haul truck-sizes page says 2'10", a 2017 U‑Haul blog says 2'9" (deck length 12'5" on business page). One non-U‑Haul page shows door 6'6" high vs U‑Haul's 6'5". GVW 14,500 lbs, empty 8,115 lbs, towing up to 10,000 lbs. Outside sizes are left out on purpose: the source gives a clearance height or numbers from another page, not the box size. Cross-check 29 Oct 2026, deckHeight: Two independents give 2'9" = 33" (would confirm), but U‑Haul's own truck-sizes page and a dealer page say 2'10" (34"). Cross-check 29 Oct 2026, overCab.length: Only UPack matches; 2019 cheat sheet swaps length/height. Cross-check 29 Oct 2026, overCab.height: Only UPack matches; 2019 cheat sheet says 2'6". Wheel wells (29 Oct 2026): No source says whether the floor is flat or has wells; not modelled.

Loading tips for this truck

  • The door is 6'5" high but the inside is 7'2": tall furniture has to be tilted to get in, then stood up.
  • Use the over-cab space (2'6" deep, 2'7" high) for boxes and light, fragile things.
  • Load heavy furniture and appliances first, against the cab wall, and boxes last on top.
