Firstly, the FUV is 61 inches wide. Anything less than 65 inch gets very tight, and loading can get very anxiety provoking, especially if the ramp is wet.
Uhaul rents two 6 foot x 12 foot trailers. One has a ramp. DO NOT RENT THE UHAUL TRAILER WITH RAMP. It is not wide enough at the ramp end.
The other 6x12 trailer is a rock hauler. It has no tie downs rings or ramp, but it is wide enough. If have a vehicle beefy enough to haul this and setup to haul about 3000 lbs, it might be an option. You can purchase or rent at least 2 ramps (3 preferable), make some simple wheel chocks, and get some car tie downs from Home Depot and there you have it - a nice and simple, cheap way to haul.
Some pictures of strapping and home made wheel chocks for the front:
Interstate Rentals in Portland, OR has a 6 x 12 tilting trailer that has worked for someone but it is heavy and requires a vehicle rated at hauling 5500 lbs
There are some trailers that do work. Some options are listed under “Trailers and Straps”:
