2020 SUR-TRAC 16'L x 7'W
“Excellent trailer! Excellent host! Trailer was/is literally brand new! Tie downs everywhere. Perfect for Motorcycles, but I moved a Kind bed and the extra roof space came in extreme handy! Also, I liked that the wheel wells were on the outside. It make it easier to pack in everything tight. Now that's the details on the trailer, but when renting, you want a great host too. Blain is an excellent communicator. He made it easy to meet and he walked through all the details with me. He was always easy to reach and that goes a long ways. I would absolutely recommend renting from Blain! ”

Choosing the Right Trailer to Rent in Texas
Texas towing means long highway miles, toll roads that charge by axle, and heavy ranch and oil field loads. 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. Texas requires brakes on any trailer with a gross weight over 4,500 lbs.
- Toll roads: most Texas toll roads charge by axle, so a pickup towing a single-axle trailer pays the 3-axle rate, which is double the car toll on Central Texas Mobility Authority roads. A Texas toll tag works on toll roads statewide, and Pay by Mail costs about 50% more than a tag.
- Legal size: most rental trailers sit well inside Texas’s legal limits of 102 inches (8 feet 6 inches) wide and 14 feet tall, and a truck and trailer together can’t be longer than 65 feet.
- 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. Texas law requires safety chains on trailers towed by passenger cars and light trucks, so cross them 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 keep cargo out of the sun, dust, and rain on long runs, and I-10 alone stretches about 880 miles across Texas.
- 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 Texas
From ranch chores to deer leases, lake weekends, and Permian job sites, these are the most common reasons Texas renters book a trailer, and the type that fits each job.
- Ranch and farm work. Haul hay, feed, fencing, and equipment with a flatbed, utility, or gooseneck trailer. Texas has more than 230,000 farms and ranches, the most of any state, covering about 125 million acres.
- Livestock and equestrian. Haul cattle, horses, and goats with a livestock, horse, or gooseneck trailer. Texas has about 12.1 million cattle, nearly twice as many as any other state.
- Hunting season. Haul ATVs, feeders, blinds, and camp gear with a utility trailer, and bring the game home on the same trip. More than 95% of Texas land is privately owned or managed, so many hunters book leases a year or more ahead. The general deer season opens statewide in early November and runs into January.
- Oil field and heavy equipment. Move skid steers, pipe, tools, and building materials with a gooseneck, flatbed, or deckover trailer built for heavy, oversized loads. The Permian Basin of West Texas and southeastern New Mexico produced about 48% of US crude oil in 2025, according to the EIA.
- Boats and watercraft. Tow a bass boat, bay boat, or jet ski with a boat or utility trailer. Texas law requires you to drain all water from your boat, including livewells and bilges, before you leave or approach a lake or river, and to remove any plants or animals from the boat and trailer.
- Powersports and off-road. Get ATVs, UTVs, and dirt bikes to the trails with a utility trailer or toy hauler. Riding on public land requires a Texas OHV decal ($16, valid September 1 through August 31), and Texas doesn’t accept other states’ permits.
- Vehicles and motorsports. Car haulers are the most-listed trailer type on towlos in Texas. Move a project car, a track car, or an auction purchase with an open or enclosed car hauler.
- Moving and big hauls. Texas added about 391,000 people in 2025, more than any other state, according to the Census Bureau. Move an apartment, furniture, or a small office with an enclosed or utility trailer.
- Camping and road trips. Load camp gear, kayaks, and bikes in a utility or enclosed trailer. The Texas State Parks Pass covers entry to more than 85 state parks, from the Gulf Coast to Big Bend country.
