Meet our December towlos Host of the Month, Ryan: a racer who has made a name for himself not only on the track but also as a go-to trailer rental provider in the Detroit metro area. Whether competing at autocross, tackling Hillclimb courses, or working in timing and scoring with Gridlife events, he’s become a staple in the racing community—and his trailer rental story is one every motorsports enthusiast can appreciate.
The Origin Story: From U-Haul Frustrations to Owning the Perfect Trailer
For years, Ryan drove his car to every event—until disaster struck. After an engine failure far from home, the need for a reliable way to tow his car became evident. Like many, he initially turned to U-Haul trailers but was quickly fed up with the challenges: scheduling headaches, equipment not suited for racers, and one particularly frustrating experience waiting over four hours for a spare tire on the side of the highway.
Determined to solve the problem, he purchased a trailer tailored to his needs:
- Lightweight and compact: Perfect for towing with an SUV.
- Built-in tire rack: Essential for hauling the extra tires every racer needs.
- Durable and reliable: Designed to eliminate the stress of towing mishaps.
His trailer quickly became a game-changer—not just for his own racing endeavors but also for others in the motorsports world.
Joining towlos: A Platform That Clicked
Through Gridlife connections, the towlos-sponsored car, and appearances on various racing podcasts, Ryan learned about towlos and saw an opportunity to share his trailer with other racers. Listing his trailer on towlos made perfect sense—it offered a simple way to connect with fellow enthusiasts in need of quality towing options.
A Recent Success: Helping a Fellow Racer
His most recent rental exemplifies the power of the towlos platform. A fellow racer, new to the world of spec Miata, was struggling to find a trustworthy trailer option. Frustrated with traditional rentals, he turned to towlos, where the platform’s excellent SEO led him straight to Ryan’s trailer listing.
The process was seamless. The renter appreciated the lightweight aluminum design and tire rack, perfect for his needs. After a smooth booking and a successful event, the renter was thrilled with the experience and promised to rent again in the future.
Why Ryan Stands Out
Ryan embodies what towlos is all about: turning personal experiences into solutions that help others. His story highlights the value of owning the right trailer and how towlos can connect trailer owners with renters who truly appreciate high-quality equipment.
Whether it’s through his work with Gridlife, appearances on racing podcasts, or simply being a reliable towlos host, Ryan continues to make an impact in the motorsports community.
