Check out U-Haul's online site.  http://www.uhaul.com/

I've just been investigating renting a U-Haul trailer myself & found
online that my towing configuration was "recommended" after providing
vehicle details & trailer type.  This is part way through the online
reservation process.  You first have to join to get a free membership with
password.

So, the individual U-Haul operator may do the same thing; i.e., they may
depend upon a common database which you can access.
