By Short answer? Pretty much anything with wheels and a hitch. Long answer? Let’s break it down.
Towlos is built for folks who need a trailer now—whether it’s to haul a car, move a couch, tackle a weekend project, or get their business moving. And because our platform connects people with real trailer owners (aka you, the host), the variety is wide open.
Here are the main types of trailers you’ll find (and can list!) on towlos:
Utility Trailers
These are the go-to for general hauling. Whether someone’s moving furniture, doing a dump run, or hauling tools, a 5×10 or 6×12 utility trailer is a popular, easy-to-tow option.
Car Hauler Trailers
Ideal for transporting vehicles—whether it’s a track car, a show car, or one that just broke down. Most are 18 to 20 feet with ramps, tie-downs, and sometimes a winch.
Dump Trailers
Perfect for landscaping jobs, construction sites, and cleanup projects. These heavy-duty trailers usually feature hydraulic lift systems and can handle big loads. They rent for higher rates, which means higher returns for you.
Enclosed Trailers
These are great for keeping things safe and dry—think moving jobs, vendors hauling gear, or anyone with valuable cargo. Trailers with interior lights, shelving, or rear ramp doors are especially popular.
Horse Trailers
Whether it’s a local rodeo or a cross-state trip, horse owners need clean, well-ventilated, and well-maintained trailers. If you’ve got a slant-load or straight-load trailer, there’s likely someone looking to rent it.
Motorcycle Trailers
For solo riders or group hauls, these trailers are designed to securely transport bikes. Renters look for features like built-in wheel chocks, tie-down points, and loading ramps.
Specialty Trailers
This category covers tilt decks, deckovers, toy haulers, and even custom builds. If it hauls and it’s roadworthy, there’s probably a renter for it on towlos.
What Makes a Trailer Rentable?
It’s not just about the type—it’s about the condition and features. Renters are looking for:
- Solid tires, brakes, and working lights
- Up-to-date registration and a clean title
- Clear, accurate photos
- Honest descriptions (and helpful tips!)
- Useful extras like straps, spare tires, tarp kits, or winches
Thinking About Listing Your Trailer?
If you’ve got a trailer sitting idle—or you’re thinking about buying one—towlos makes it easy to start earning from it. Whether it’s a basic utility trailer or a decked-out hauler, as long as it’s safe and ready to hit the road, you can list it.
