Car Hauler Trailers For Sale

Car hauler trailers are built to move vehicles safely — low decks, heavy-duty axles, secure tie-down points, and ramps that load a car without a fight. At Prime Trail Trailers we stock open car hauler trailers from 16 to 24 feet and enclosed car haulers up to 8.5x28 with V-nose, ramp doors, and interior tie-down tracks.

Whether you are a track-day enthusiast hauling a race car, a dealer moving inventory, or a recovery service picking up broken-down vehicles, a car hauler from Prime Trail is built to load low, tow stable, and arrive without damage. Our open car haulers feature dovetail rear decks, slide-out or fold-down ramps, and D-ring tie-downs. Our enclosed car haulers add weather protection and security for high-value vehicles.

How to Choose a Car Hauler Trailer

Expert guidance to help you make the right choice.

The deck length and loading angle are the two most important factors on a car hauler. Measure your vehicle's wheelbase (axle to axle) and add 3–4 feet for tie-down clearance — that is your minimum deck length. Most passenger cars fit on an 18-foot deck; trucks and SUVs need 20–24 feet. The loading angle is determined by the dovetail (beaver tail) at the rear of the deck and the ramp length — a steeper angle scrapes low cars, while a gentle angle loads anything.

Tie-down points are critical for safe vehicle transport. Look for a car hauler with at least four recessed D-rings positioned for four-point strapping (one strap per wheel). E-track systems offer more flexibility for different vehicle sizes. Never rely on two tie-down points alone — four-point strapping is the standard for safe transport and is required by DOT for commercial hauling.

Open vs. enclosed comes down to value and protection. Open car haulers are lighter, cheaper, and easier to load — ideal for track days, dealer moves, and recovery. Enclosed car haulers protect high-value, show, or race cars from weather, road debris, and theft, but they add 1,500–2,500 lbs of empty weight and reduce your payload. If your car is worth more than the trailer, go enclosed.

Key Considerations

  • Deck length = vehicle wheelbase + 3–4 ft for tie-down clearance
  • Dovetail decks and long ramps reduce the loading angle for low-clearance cars
  • Four recessed D-rings or E-track for four-point strapping — never two-point
  • Open car haulers are lighter and cheaper; enclosed protects high-value vehicles
  • Tandem-axle car haulers with 7,000 lb axles handle most passenger vehicles
  • Electric brakes are required — confirm your tow vehicle has a brake controller

Why Buy From Prime Trail Trailers?

We sell car haulers that load low and tow stable — not flexy decks that bounce your car down the highway. Our open car haulers use full-length crossmembers, heavy-duty ramps that will not bend under a truck's weight, and tie-down points positioned for four-point strapping. We help you match the deck length and axle rating to your vehicle.
