I do have some concern about that bumper mount myself, though I believe GM claims them to have a 5000K capacity. Good news is the K25 has a good 2" receiver bolted under it and it should not take much to swap it onto the C30, just a handle full of grade 8 bolts ought to do it.

Using the Uhaul website it shows that even with a proper hitch they would not rent me a dolly or trailer, I even claimed the truck to have a 10K rated hitch. I believe the website is over cautious because a local Uhaul dealer rented me a dolly to pull a 85 Ford Ranger 4x4 home with a 90 Cherokee XJ, even though the website claimed it to be a no go.
