The 8.5x20ft Car Hauler
Twenty feet of deck, drive-over fenders, and a mounted 12,000 lb winch built for the bigger stuff. This is the hauler Rio Linda rents when a half-ton truck or full-size SUV needs to move without paying tow truck rates.

Built For The Bigger Loads
This car hauler rides on two 5,000 lb axles with drive-over fenders, so wider trucks and SUVs load straight on without steering around a wheel well. Typical curb weights below, so you can sanity-check against your own truck's tow rating.
A midsize sedan runs roughly 3,200 to 3,600 lbs. Plenty of room on this deck with payload to spare.
Half ton pickups and full-size SUVs run roughly 4,500 to 5,800 lbs. Drive-over fenders and the extra deck length make this the pick over the 7x18ft for bigger rigs.
Most American classics sit between 3,000 and 4,300 lbs. The 12,000 lb winch means a seized engine does not stop the load-up.
8.5ft x 20ft deck, drive-over fenders · two 5,000 lb axles · 12,000 lb winch · two 5-ft ramps with extensions · vehicle straps and ratchets included · 2 5/16-inch ball size · spare tire and tire-changing tools.
Numbers above are typical manufacturer curb weights for planning, not limits for this trailer. Want help confirming your vehicle's exact weight? Call (916) 244-5944 before you book.
The Jobs This Hauler Does Best
Renters book the 8.5x20ft when the vehicle is bigger, the deck needs to be longer, or drive-over fenders make loading easier.
Truck & Full-Size SUV Transport
Move a half-ton truck or full-size SUV across town or to the shop. Straps and ratchets are included.
Non-Running Vehicle Recovery
The 12,000 lb winch pulls a dead or disabled vehicle onto the deck without a second tow truck.
Longer Loads
Twenty feet of deck handles vehicles and trailers the 7x18ft cannot, with drive-over fenders for easier loading.

8.5x20ft Car Hauler Questions
Can my vehicle tow the 8.5x20ft car hauler?
Loaded with a truck or full-size SUV, this hauler is a heavier combination, so plan on a truck rated for it. Add the trailer's own weight to your vehicle's weight and stay under your truck's tow rating. We can help you confirm exactly what you can tow when booking.
How is this different from the 7x18ft car hauler?
Two extra feet of deck, drive-over fenders instead of standard fenders, and heavier 5,000 lb axles, so it is the pick for bigger trucks and full-size SUVs.
How does the winch work for a car that does not run?
The winch is mounted on the trailer and included with the rental. Hook the line to a recovery point on the vehicle, keep it in neutral with a spotter steering, and walk it up the ramps under winch power. We will show you the process at pickup.
Do I need insurance?
Yes, your automobile insurance should cover anything you tow. You would need to confirm with them before taking delivery.
