Whether you’re moving a project car to the shop, hauling ATVs to the trail, or transporting equipment between jobsites, having a reliable car hauler makes the whole job a lot less complicated. The right trailer loads easily, tows predictably, and holds up to regular use without becoming a maintenance headache of its own. That’s why we carry car haulers in a range of sizes, styles, and weight ratings, so you can find something that fits what you’re pulling and how you’re pulling it.

Matching the Trailer to the Job

The trailer that works great for a weekend hobbyist looks a lot different from one doing commercial work week in and week out. GVWR, deck length, ramp style, and frame construction all factor into how well a trailer performs under your conditions. Getting that match right from the start saves you from loading frustrations, towing headaches, and the cost of outgrowing a trailer sooner than you should.

What Our Car Hauler Selection Offers You

We carry car haulers from four trusted manufacturers: Caliber, Load Trail, Cynergy, and Aluma. They include open steel decks, enclosed car haulers for weather-protected transport, and aluminum car haulers for a lighter tow and longer-term durability. GVWRs range from 7,000 to 14,000 lbs with deck lengths up to 22 feet, so there's a fit for light-duty weekend use or heavier commercial hauling.

Common features and options include:

  • Open deck designs in 7K and 10K GVWR ratings from Caliber
  • Load Trail steel car haulers in 7K, 10K, and 14K with fold ramps, slide ramps, max ramps, or split ramps

FAQs: Car Haulers

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear about car haulers.

What's the difference between fold ramps, slide ramps, and a tilt deck?

Fold ramps hinge up and store flat against the back of the trailer. They're the most common and work well for most loading situations. Slide ramps tuck under the deck and pull out when you need them, keeping the rear of the trailer cleaner and more accessible. A tilt deck, like on the Load Trail Rapid Loader, eliminates ramps entirely. The whole deck tips down to ground level for loading, which is ideal for low-clearance vehicles or anything that doesn't load well off ramps.

What's the advantage of an enclosed car hauler over an open deck?

Enclosed car haulers protect your vehicle from road debris, weather, and prying eyes during transport, which matters a lot when you're moving something valuable or a show-quality vehicle. The Cynergy enclosed trailers in our lineup are 8.5' wide and available in 16' and 24' lengths at up to 10K GVWR. The trade-off is that enclosed trailers weigh more, cost more, and are harder to maneuver in tight spaces compared to open decks.

Why would I choose an aluminum car hauler over a steel one?

Aluminum car haulers are lighter than comparable steel trailers, which means more of your truck's towing capacity goes toward the actual payload rather than the trailer itself. Aluminum also doesn't rust, which matters in wet climates or if the trailer will sit outside regularly. The trade-off is a higher upfront cost compared to steel.

Do I need electric brakes on a car hauler?

Most states require trailer brakes when the loaded trailer weight exceeds a certain threshold, typically 3,000 lbs, though it varies by state. Our 10K and 14K car haulers come equipped with dual electric brake axles. Even where not legally required, brakes on a loaded trailer improve stopping performance and reduce wear on your tow vehicle.
