Default Towing an LR4?

Does anyone have any experience/advice on towing an LR4? I'm looking at renting a moving truck to move from Arizona to Texas, but none of the moving companies have trailers that are able to tow the LR4 (because of the weight). Has anyone been able to tow an LR4 with a moving truck or any other truck? What type of trailer would you need/recommend? Thanks!

Most light duty, flatbed, car hauler trailers are rated for 7000lbs, but that includes the weight of the trailer, which can be nearly 2000lbs, so you are only left 5000lbs, and an LR4 weights 5400lbs.

Your LR4 can tow 7700lbs. Maybe instead of a moving truck you could get one of their large trailers and use the LR4 to tow it?

Or you could look for a 10,000lbs "equipment trailer"
