Description
The Homesteader 8.5 x 20 Enclosed 7K Car Trailer – 6″ Added Height comes to us as a car hauler, made to carry a vehicle securely from driveway to destination.
The listed size is 8.5 x 20. Gross vehicle weight rating is 7,000 lb.
Between jobs it stores without taking over the yard, and it comes back into service without the long list of repairs that badly built haulers seem to accumulate over a winter.
Suspension choice shows up in how the load arrives. Leaf springs are simple, cheap and easily repaired anywhere; torsion axles ride more smoothly and independently, which matters for fragile cargo.
Before towing, confirm that your vehicle’s rating covers the loaded weight of the trailer rather than its empty weight. The gap between the two catches people out more often than any other towing mistake.
Accessories are cheaper specified than retrofitted. Spare carriers, toolboxes, extra tie-downs and upgraded lighting all cost noticeably more once the unit has left the factory.
The difference between a good hauling day and a bad one is usually preparation. Check the lights, check the tire pressures, check the coupler is latched — then the rest of the trip takes care of itself.
Look over the frame and welds occasionally, particularly around the coupler and the axle mounts. Problems announce themselves early if anyone is looking.
Open and enclosed haulers get bought for one job and then quietly take on twenty more. The buyers who are happiest a year later are almost always the ones who bought slightly more deck and slightly more rating than the original job strictly required.
Buy with confidence: nationwide shipping, a 30-day hassle-free return policy, and a real person on (520) 203-9093 when you need one.
