Same here is Sacramento. When I moved into my current house, they wouldn't rent me a trailer for my Chevelle because I pulled up in an Explorer (borrowed - I own no Fords...) even though I only had to move it about three blocks up the road. The dolly I ended up using was so beat up, it would have failed a California visual smog inspection!! No engine needed! ( Remember, around here it seems you can fail for having chipped paint! ;-) ) LOL!
