What Size Cargo Trailer Do I Need?

Whether you’re working on a home improvement project, hauling furniture, or towing a recreational vehicle, a trailer can make your life a million times easier. If you like added security, weather protection, and easy towability, then you may need a cargo trailer!

What’s the Difference Between a Cargo Trailer and a Utility Trailer?

Both a utility trailer and a cargo trailer are easy to load and tow, but cargo trailers are completely enclosed, while utility trailers have an open-top design.

Why Would I Need a Cargo Trailer?

Since cargo trailers are completely enclosed, they keep your belongings safe from weather conditions or potential theft. Each U-Haul cargo trailer comes with a built-in lockable latch, which provides an added layer of protection.

What Size Cargo Trailer Do You Need?

U-Haul cargo trailers come in small, medium, and large sizes. Here are some of the unique features that make each of them a smooth ride. Each trailer comes with a low deck and a wide door to ensure easy loading every time. The best part? You can hitch each one to your car for easy transport!
