Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Colorado
Colorado towing means mountain passes, winter traction rules, and big swings in weather and altitude. 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. Colorado requires brakes on all wheels of any trailer weighing 3,000 lbs or more, plus breakaway brakes that apply automatically.
- Legal size: most rental trailers sit well inside Colorado's legal limits of 8 feet 6 inches wide, 14 feet 6 inches tall, and 70 feet for the whole combination. Tall loads are a different story on I-70: anything over 13 feet 11 inches can't go through the Eisenhower-Johnson Memorial Tunnels.
- Altitude and grades: engines make less power up high, so leave headroom below your tow rating for mountain trips, and use a lower gear on long descents so your brakes stay cool.
- Winter traction: the Traction Law season on I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison runs September 1 through May 31, and CDOT can activate traction rules on any state highway. Under the updated law, a 2WD tow vehicle has to carry chains or an approved traction device during that season, because better tires alone no longer count.
- 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 in Hail Alley, where the Front Range sees some of the most frequent large hail in North America, from mid-April to mid-September.
- 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, brakes, delivery, and anything specific to your load before they approve it.
Common Reasons to Rent a Trailer in Colorado
From Front Range home projects to hunting camp, reservoir weekends, and ski country, these are the most common reasons Colorado renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.
- Home and yard projects. Haul mulch, rock, gravel, and renovation debris with a dump or utility trailer. A dump trailer turns a spring cleanup or a storm repair into 1 trip to the landfill.
- Moving and big hauls. Colorado is home to about 6 million people and has grown about 4% since 2020. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer.
- Boats and watercraft. Tow a boat, jet ski, or sailboat to a reservoir with a boat or dual-purpose utility trailer. Every trailered or motorized boat must pass a CPW inspection before it launches, at one of about 77 inspection sites statewide, and you have to clean, drain, and dry it every time you leave the water.
- Hunting season. Haul ATVs, camp gear, and game with a utility trailer or flatbed. Archery opens in September, and Colorado's rifle deer and elk seasons run in 4 stretches from mid-October to late November.
- Powersports and off-road. Get ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes to the trails with a utility trailer or toy hauler. Every OHV on Colorado's public land needs a Colorado registration, or a nonresident permit if it's registered out of state.
- Snow and winter sports. Get snowmobiles and winter gear to the high country with an enclosed or utility trailer. Snowmobiles need a Colorado registration or nonresident permit, valid October 1 through September 30.
- Livestock and equestrian. Haul horses, cattle, and show animals with a horse, livestock, or gooseneck trailer. The National Western Stock Show fills Denver each January, and the Colorado State Fair brings livestock to Pueblo from late August into early September.
- Vehicles and motorsports. Car haulers are the most-listed trailer type on towlos in Colorado. Move a project car, a track car, or a new purchase with an open or enclosed car hauler.
- Construction and heavy equipment. Move skid steers, mini excavators, and building materials with a flatbed, deckover, or gooseneck trailer built for heavy, oversized loads.
