Vehicle Hauler Trailers
Vehicle hauler trailers can be useful when transporting cars, trucks, SUVs, and other compatible vehicles.

- Lower trailer weight is desirable
- An enclosed cargo area is not necessary
- You need a practical vehicle transportation solution
- You frequently load and unload vehicles

- Interior width
- Interior height

Choosing the Right Car Hauler
Choosing the right car hauler starts with the vehicle you intend to transport.
1. Determine the Vehicle Weight
Find the actual curb weight or transport weight of the vehicle.
If the vehicle contains additional equipment, accessories, cargo, or modifications, consider their additional weight.
2. Measure the Vehicle
Measure:
- Overall length
- Overall width
- Overall height
- Wheelbase
- Ground clearance
These measurements should be compared with the trailer’s deck and loading dimensions.
3. Check Trailer Capacity
Review the trailer’s:
- GVWR
- Payload capacity
- Axle ratings
- Tire ratings
- Coupler rating
- Brake system
The trailer must be capable of safely carrying the vehicle within its rated specifications.
4. Check Your Tow Vehicle
Your tow vehicle must also be appropriately rated for the loaded trailer.
Review the manufacturer’s towing specifications and make sure the combined trailer and vehicle weight is within the applicable limits.
5. Consider Loading Equipment
A trailer may require ramps, a winch, or other loading equipment depending on the vehicle and trailer configuration.
Low-clearance vehicles may require special consideration when choosing a ramp and loading angle.
Car Hauler Weight and Capacity
Understanding weight ratings is essential when selecting a car transporter.
The GVWR represents the maximum loaded weight rating specified for the trailer.
The payload capacity represents the amount of weight available for the cargo being transported based on the trailer’s specifications.
When transporting a vehicle, remember that the vehicle itself is the primary cargo.
You must also consider additional items such as:
- Spare tires
- Tools
- Equipment
- Accessories
- Winches
- Loading equipment
- Other cargo
Do not exceed the manufacturer’s stated GVWR, axle ratings, tire ratings, or other applicable limits.
Can a Car Hauler Transport SUVs and Trucks?
Some car haulers are designed to transport larger vehicles such as SUVs and pickup trucks, but compatibility depends on the specific trailer’s dimensions and weight ratings.
