2026 American Car Hauler w/ Removable Fender
“Trailer was great. We took it on a 4,500 mile journey We had some circumstantial issues on the road with the trailer. We lost a few lugs (and almost a tire) so we had to pay $800 for a mobilehub / stud repair in UT Separate from that, we hit some highway debris in AZ and broke a fender and some wiring. We came to a quick resolution with the owner on the repairs and he was more than reasonable. Nice trailer. Tough trip. ”

Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Colton
Before renting a trailer in Colton, consider whether you're transporting furniture, heavy building materials, or equipment for an event. Disposal rules, neighborhood access, and the trailer's weight capacity can all affect your plans. Run through these before you send a rental request.
-
Size and capacity: match deck length and payload to your biggest item, and leave room to strap it down safely.
-
Weight and brakes: stay within the trailer's rated load and your vehicle's tow rating, and keep tongue weight around 10 to 15 percent of the total. Under California Vehicle Code Section 26302, qualifying trailers manufactured and first registered after January 1, 1966, with a gross weight of 3,000 pounds or more generally require brakes on at least 2 wheels, subject to applicable exceptions.
-
Community dump day restrictions: Colton's quarterly Community Dump Days accept qualifying residential waste but exclude construction debris, household hazardous waste, and commercial business loads. Check the event rules before loading a utility trailer.
-
Household waste services: Colton contracts with CR&R for residential trash and recycling. Eligible residents can schedule bulky-item collection separately from regular pickup, while mattresses and carpet have specific drop-off programs at the city's designated disposal site.
-
Park and event unloading: Colton's park reservation program includes Veterans Park and Fleming Park. Some events at Fleming Park may require a separate Special Event Permit. Confirm approved access and unloading arrangements before delivering equipment with a trailer.
-
Hitch, chains, and wiring: confirm the ball size (usually 2 inches, or 2-5/16 for heavier trailers), your hitch class, and that the trailer's plug matches your vehicle. Cross the safety chains under the tongue.
-
Ramps and loading: for anything you roll or drive on, check for a ramp gate or low deck height; for tall or awkward loads, check deck width and tie-down points.
-
Open vs. enclosed: open trailers load fast and cost less; enclosed trailers protect cargo from Inland Empire dust, seasonal winds, summer heat, and occasional rain.
-
Get your questions answered: check the listing details first, and ask Toby, the towlos virtual assistant, anything else. After you submit a rental request, you can message the Host in towlos Chat to confirm dimensions, hitch, delivery, and anything specific to your load before they approve it.
Common Reasons to Rent a Trailer in Colton
From transporting sports equipment to Veterans Park to preparing for community celebrations and neighborhood home improvements, these are the most common reasons Colton renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.
-
Household moves and furniture hauling. Residents moving around Colton and neighboring Inland Empire communities can use enclosed trailers for furniture, appliances, and boxes. Utility trailers work for larger items that can be safely secured.
-
Home renovations and remodeling. Flooring, fencing, roofing, and remodeling projects often involve lumber, tools, and renovation debris. Utility trailers carry building materials, while dump trailers suit eligible waste loads taken to authorized facilities.
-
Landscaping and property cleanup. Utility and dump trailers can transport mulch, gravel, soil, branches, and landscaping equipment. Cover loose materials and check the receiving facility's requirements before hauling waste.
-
Sports at Veterans Park. Veterans Park offers softball fields, basketball courts, picnic shelters, and recreation areas. Utility and enclosed cargo trailers can help approved teams transport sporting equipment, tents, and supplies.
-
Community celebrations at Fleming Park. Fleming Park includes a bandshell and stage used for community activities. Enclosed trailers can help authorized performers and organizers transport instruments, sound equipment, and decorations.
-
Park picnics and special occasions. Colton's reservable picnic shelters provide space for birthdays, family gatherings, and community activities. Small utility trailers can transport tables, decorations, and other approved supplies to designated unloading areas.
-
Community cleanup projects. Colton's Keep Colton Clean & Beautiful program brings volunteers together for park and neighborhood beautification. Utility trailers can transport tools and approved supplies when event organizers authorize their use.
-
Local vendors and community events. Events such as Colton's Parks & Recreation Month activities bring community organizations and participants to local venues. Enclosed cargo trailers can help approved vendors and teams transport displays and equipment.
-
Contractor tools and equipment. Flatbeds, equipment trailers, and deckovers can transport compact machinery, tools, ladders, and building supplies for residential and commercial projects. Check payload limits, ramps, and securement.
-
Cars, motorcycles, and project vehicles. Car haulers, motorcycle trailers, and tilt-deck trailers can transport non-running cars, restoration projects, and motorcycles around Colton. Match the trailer's rated capacity and loading equipment to the vehicle.
