i remember renting U-halls a few times over a month moving.
at first glance i was like get the 14' its 19.95 a day !!! then i saw the 17' at 29.95 a day and said get it....rate per mile of the two was the same.
reason is the 14' was a older 1 ton and had a EFI 460
the 17' was the 1.5 ton model with the modern 6.8L V-10 mpg of the two where quite close...even though the 17 foot was near a 1/2 ton more empty...
they had about 5 of the 14s out front for sale and 4 more for rent...
i think there going away in do time....
same goes for the 24 and 26 foot models
the 24s have a EFI 454 they clam 8 mpg out of them.
and the newer 26s get 10 mpg they have the newer GM 8.1L
