Production has begun on the U-Haul Toy Hauler, the first addition to the Company’s rental fleet of American-made trailers in 23 years.
"With more people needing to move large items like side-by-sides, tractors, building supplies and even hot tubs, the Toy Hauler is a game-changer," said Jasmine Spencer, U-Haul Towing Program manager.

The Toy Hauler is designed for towing large-capacity vehicles and practically anything else that requires a massive flatbed.
This multi-use transport is a steroidal ascent from anything else in the U-Haul trailer fleet. The Toy Hauler’s deck is nearly two feet wider and four feet longer than the U-Haul Auto Transport. Boasting a max load of 6,834 pounds, the Toy Hauler’s carry capacity is also nearly 30% greater than the Auto Transport’s max load of 5,290 pounds.
Three easy-use retractable loading ramps, drive-over fenders and hundreds of heavy-duty tie-down points make the Toy Hauler the perfect solution for towing racecars, side-by-sides (S x S), trikes, and the vast majority of large pickups and SUVs on the road today.
“Customer response has been fantastic,” said Jasmine Spencer, U-Haul Towing Program manager. “With more people needing to move large items like side-by-sides, tractors, building supplies and even hot tubs, the Toy Hauler is a game-changer. Looking at the number of SUVs and trucks that families own, we saw a clear need for trailers that can handle these bigger loads.”
Initial production runs are occurring now in Tempe, Ariz., Pomona, Calif., Novi, Mich., and Warrington, Pa. The first 1,000 trailers will be manufactured by mid-summer. Plans call for 5,000 to be ready by the end of 2025.
