**TLDR:** The **20-foot truck** is a common pick for **2 to 3 bedroom homes** with garage items. Plan the load and use a **dolly for appliances**.

Route 66 Auto Repair in Upland rents the 20-foot U-Haul truck for family moves, often 2 to 3 bedroom homes with a garage to empty. It carries appliances, bed sets and yard gear in one trip for many households. Reserve on uhaul.com and pick up at our lot in Upland, where we photograph the fuel and cargo box before you leave.

## What kind of move does the 20-foot truck handle?

Think of a house in north Upland or Alta Loma: three bedrooms, a family room, a garage with a workbench and bikes, and a patio set. That is the typical 20-foot job. Confirm current capacity on uhaul.com for your unit, because heavy tools and appliances fill space faster than people expect.

If you are moving from an apartment, the [15-foot truck](https://route66autorepairshop.com/u-haul-rentals/moving-trucks-and-vans/15-foot-moving-truck-rental) is often enough. For a four bedroom home, compare the [26-foot truck](https://route66autorepairshop.com/u-haul-rentals/moving-trucks-and-vans/26-foot-moving-truck-rental).

## How should you handle garage items and appliances?

- Drain gas from mowers and trimmers before loading
- Bag loose tools and tape shut tool chest drawers
- Move the refrigerator upright on an appliance dolly
- Secure the washer drum per its manual before the move
- Keep propane tanks and paint out of the cargo box
- Strap bikes to the side wall so they don't shift

## How many helpers does a 20-foot load need?

Plan on at least two strong helpers plus the driver. Appliances and dressers need two people on the ramp at once. Rotate jobs so nobody works the heat all morning, and stop to drink water every hour.

## Heading out of town with a full truck?

A loaded 20-foot truck climbs slowly. On the Cajon Pass, stay right, watch the temperature gauge, and use lower gears on the way down. See [one-way truck rental](https://route66autorepairshop.com/u-haul-rentals/moving-trucks-and-vans/one-way-truck-rental) for long-distance planning, and [moving trucks and vans](https://route66autorepairshop.com/u-haul-rentals/moving-trucks-and-vans) for every size.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is a 20-foot truck enough for a 3 bedroom house?

It is a common choice for 2 to 3 bedroom homes. A packed garage or large appliances can push you to the 26-foot truck. Confirm current capacity on uhaul.com before you reserve.

### Can I move a refrigerator in the 20-foot truck?

Yes. Keep it upright, strap it to the front wall, and use an appliance dolly to load it. Defrost and dry it the day before so water doesn't leak on other items.

### Where do I return a 20-foot truck?

An in-town rental comes back to our Upland lot. A one-way rental goes to the U-Haul location on your reservation. Either way, photograph the fuel gauge and cargo box at drop-off.
