What can the 18 ft car hauler carry?
Our 2026 Lamar car hauler is an 18-foot bumper-pull trailer with an 83-inch-wide deck, a 5-inch channel frame, a 7,000 lb GVWR, slide-in loading ramps, and a 2-foot dovetail that lowers the loading angle. It is built for:
- Cars, trucks, and project vehicles, running or not (the included winch pulls a non-runner up the ramps).
- UTVs and side-by-sides.
- Track days and auctions across the Front Range.
- Light equipment.
Will your vehicle fit?
| Check | What to compare |
|---|---|
| Width | Your vehicle's width at the tires against the 83-inch deck |
| Weight | Vehicle curb weight plus the trailer must stay within the 7,000 lb GVWR |
| Ground clearance | Very low cars may scrape on ramps; the dovetail helps, and the deckover tilt is the no-ramp option |
| Tow vehicle | Tow rating, 2 5/16" ball hitch, 7-way connector, brake controller |
For very low or wide vehicles, the 24 ft deckover tilt ($150/day) lowers its whole 102-inch deck to an 11-degree angle with no ramps at all.
Car hauler, tow dolly, or shipping?
A car hauler keeps all four wheels off the road, so there is no drivetrain wear and no question about all-wheel-drive vehicles, and you control the schedule. Shipping makes sense for one-way, long-distance moves when you do not want to drive back. We compare all three, including how to decide for an out-of-state move, in car hauler vs. tow dolly vs. shipping.
Towing a loaded car hauler in Colorado
A loaded car hauler is a heavy, long tow. Position the vehicle so slightly more weight sits ahead of the axles, strap all four corners, and leave extra stopping distance on Ute Pass and I-25 descents. Every trailer we rent has electric brakes, so your tow vehicle needs a working brake controller; our trailer brakes guide explains why Colorado requires them at this weight.
Why rent from a local Colorado Springs company?
Iron Capital is family-owned and based right here in Colorado Springs, so you're renting from people who tow these same trailers up Ute Pass, across the Powers corridor, and down I-25 to Pueblo. We keep the fleet maintained ourselves, answer the phone seven days a week, and include the winch, straps, and ramps that national chains charge extra for.
Rentals are simple: reserve with a $50 booking fee (applied to your total), bring a valid Colorado license, proof of auto insurance, and a credit card for the refundable deposit, then hook up and go.

Car Hauler Rental FAQ
How much does it cost to rent a car hauler in Colorado Springs?
Our 2026 Lamar 18 ft car hauler rents for $100 per day or $600 per week, plus a refundable deposit and a $50 booking fee that is applied to your rental total.
Will my truck tow a loaded car hauler?
The trailer's GVWR is 7,000 lbs. Check your tow vehicle's rating: most half-ton pickups and many mid-size trucks with a tow package handle a car hauler with a sedan or small SUV comfortably.
How do I load a car onto the hauler?
The slide-in ramps and 2-foot dovetail create a shallow loading angle. Drive or winch the vehicle on, center the weight slightly forward of the axles, and strap all four corners — the included winch helps with non-running vehicles.
Can I haul a UTV or side-by-side on it?
Yes. The 83-inch-wide deck fits UTVs, side-by-sides, and golf carts easily, and the 18-foot length leaves room for gear or a second small machine within the weight limit.
Can I haul a low sports car on the car hauler?
Often, yes: the 2-foot dovetail lowers the loading angle. Very low cars can still scrape on ramps, so measure your front clearance. If it is tight, rent the 24 ft deckover tilt instead, which tilts its whole deck to an 11-degree angle with no ramps.
Will my car fit on an 83-inch-wide car hauler?
Most passenger cars, SUVs, and UTVs fit. Measure your vehicle's width at the outside of the tires and compare it with the 83-inch deck, and check that the vehicle's weight plus the trailer stays within the 7,000 lb GVWR. Call 719-661-3946 if you are unsure.
