By Our founder and CEO, Matt Jones, recently joined the To All The Cars I’ve Loved Before podcast for a conversation that felt like a perfect fit for towlos. The episode, titled “C7 Corvette, Porsche 930 & Car Trailers: Towlos Startup,” dives into Matt’s love of cars, the story behind building towlos, and how a personal need for the right trailer helped spark the idea for a peer-to-peer trailer rental marketplace.
A Conversation Built for Car People
To All The Cars I’ve Loved Before is centered around the stories, memories, and experiences that make car culture so personal. In Matt’s episode, he shares parts of his own automotive journey, from early car memories to track days in his C7 Corvette Grand Sport and the challenges that came with needing the right trailer to get there.
That problem eventually became much bigger than one weekend at the track. It became the foundation for towlos: a platform designed to connect trailer owners with people who need the right trailer for their next project, pickup, track day, or adventure.
How the Idea for towlos Came to Life
During the episode, Matt talks about the origin of towlos and the gap he noticed in the trailer rental world. When he and his friends wanted to travel farther for racetrack weekends, they struggled to find the right car hauler. That experience inspired the idea for a marketplace where trailer owners could earn money from equipment they already had, while renters could find more specific options than traditional one-size-fits-all rental choices.
At its core, towlos solves a real problem for people who move what matters to them. Whether that means a race car, a project vehicle, equipment, or something else entirely, the right trailer can make the whole experience easier.
Cars, Community, and Building Something Useful
The conversation also highlights something that has always been central to towlos: community. Matt and the podcast hosts talk not only about cars and trailers, but about the people behind them. That sense of connection is a big part of what towlos hopes to build — a trusted network of hosts and guests who understand the value of the right equipment and the experiences it makes possible.
As towlos continues to grow, conversations like this help share the bigger story behind the platform. It is not just about renting trailers. It is about helping people get to the places, projects, and passions that matter most.
