Vehicle Hauler Trailers

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

  • Vehicle weight
  • Trailer deck dimensions
  • Ramp length
  • Loading angle
  • Trailer capacity

They may be a practical choice when:

  • Easy vehicle access is important
  • 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

Open car haulers can be available in different deck sizes, axle configurations, and equipment packages.

Before purchasing, verify the exact dimensions, GVWR, payload capacity, ramp configuration, and other specifications for the specific model.

They may be suitable for transporting:

  • Collector cars
  • Performance vehicles
  • Classic vehicles
  • Motorsports vehicles
  • Specialty vehicles
  • Other compatible automobiles

Enclosed trailers can also provide additional privacy and storage space depending on their design.

Consider:

  • Interior length
  • Interior width
  • Interior height
  • Door opening
  • Ramp configuration
  • Vehicle ground clearance
  • Vehicle wheelbase
  • Vehicle weight
  • Payload capacity

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.

Before purchasing, compare the trail
