Car Haulers
Car haulers balance three variables: deck length, deck height, and approach angle. Get those right and loading a lowered car or a project vehicle with no brakes becomes routine instead of stressful.
Overview
Open car haulers are typically 18 to 20 feet with a 16+2 or 18+2 dovetail configuration. Slide-out or fold-up ramps, a beavertail, and a low overall deck height reduce the approach angle for sports cars and lowered trucks.
Enclosed haulers cost more and tow heavier, but they protect the vehicle from weather, road debris, and prying eyes. For collector cars, race teams, and long interstate runs, that protection usually justifies the premium.
