Vehicle trailer types Tow dolly: Tow dollies are best for front-wheel-drive cars and can be pulled behind your personal vehicle or a moving truck. Note that two of your wheels will be on the road, which may be less than ideal for long-distance moves. Car carrier: Car carriers are better than tow dollies for long-distance moves, but they do cost slightly more. Most car carriers have a loading ramp, automatic brakes, security chains, ratchet-operated tire straps, and tilt-out fenders in case you need to access your car while it’s on the trailer. (Also keep in mind that with a max towing capacity of 5,290 pounds, you may not be able to haul your souped-up pickup). Motorcycle trailer: Tow a motorcycle near or far with this trailer. It comes equipped with a loading ramp, a built-in chock to help stabilize your bike’s front wheel, and tie-down rings to secure heavy motorcycles in place. Utility trailer with ramp: For ATVs, multiple motorcycles, golf carts, or oddly sized vehicles, a 5 ft. x 9 ft. utility trailer has an EZ-load ramp and can be towed behind a personal vehicle or moving truck. It also includes tie-down rings and an integrated motorcycle chock support to secure and stabilize your bikes in place. Boat trailer: You probably won’t find a boat trailer for rent at any major moving trailer rental company, but you can get a pickup truck from U-Haul or Enterprise that is capable of towing your boat on its own trailer.
