Aluminum Car Haulers Built to Haul What Matters to You
Whether you’re moving a car you’ve spent years restoring, running vehicles between dealership lots, or hauling to the next race, the trailer underneath that vehicle matters as much as the truck pulling it. Nextrail builds aluminum car haulers at our Ocala, FL facility, and we build each one to the buyer’s actual use case — not a generic spec sheet. Nextrail Car haulers come in a 7,000 lb GVWR Standard Model and a 10,000 lb GVWR HD Model. Both models feature an all aluminum rugged construction making these haulers both lightweight and durable.
Why Serious Haulers Choose Aluminum
Steel car trailers are heavier, which cuts directly into your tow vehicle’s payload capacity and fuel economy. Every pound of trailer is a pound you’re not using to haul more vehicle, more equipment, or a heavier load.
Aluminum car haulers give you:
- More usable payload. A lighter trailer frame means more of your tow vehicle’s rated capacity goes toward the vehicle you’re hauling.
- Easier towing and maneuvering. Lighter trailers are noticeably easier to back up, load, and control at highway speed.
- No rust-through. Steel car haulers eventually rust at weld points and frame rails, especially with regular exposure to rain and road salt. Aluminum doesn’t have that failure mode.
- Better long-term resale value. Buyers pay more for a trailer they know isn’t hiding rust damage under fresh paint.

Car Hauler FAQ's
What size car hauler do I need?
It depends on the length, weight, and number of vehicles you’re hauling, plus your tow vehicle’s rated capacity. Tell us what you’re hauling and we’ll recommend deck length, axle count, and GVWR.
Open or enclosed — which is better?
Open haulers are lighter, more affordable, and easier to load/unload repeatedly — a common choice for classic cars, race cars, and dealership use. Enclosed trailers add weather and theft protection at the cost of extra weight. Talk to us about your specific use case and we’ll walk you through the tradeoffs.
Can you add custom features like extra tie-downs or a winch?
Yes. We regularly add custom features during the build, and can even make adjustments on the spot at pickup for details like additional deck cleats.
How does an aluminum car hauler affect what I can tow?
Because the trailer itself weighs less, more of your tow vehicle’s rated towing capacity is available for the vehicle you’re actually hauling — which matters if you’re towing with a lighter-duty truck or SUV.
