Haulmark 8.5 x 20 Enclosed Car Cargo Trailer Hauler

1998 Haulmark 8.5 x 20 Enclosed Car/Cargo Trailer Hauler w/Aero Nose

Haulmark is one of the top trailer brands.  Superior build quality makes them really last and they retain their value well.  You can certainly find cheaper, but you won’t find better without spending substantially more. This 20 footer is a popular and very versatile size that’s easily towed by mid-size V8 pickups as well as SUVs, such as Explorers and Durangos. I’ve fit cars as large as an E-Class Mercedes inside, and all but the largest classic/race cars will fit nicely.  Typically I tow a Sunbeam Tiger, Triumph TR6, or an E-Type or XK Jag – with plenty of room to spare.

The Basics: 

• I special ordered this trailer new through an authorized Haulmark dealer and picked it up Haulmark’s Pennsylvania factory in 1999.
• I have the title in hand.  There is no lien.
• Trailer has been used very little, probably no more than a few thousand miles total.
• Selling only because I have purchased a much larger trailer.
• Exterior condition is Very Good (7.0/10); there are some small scratches, nicks and dings that you have to be within 6-7 ft to really see, and very minor damage to the bottom ¼” of the rear of one of the fenders.
• Tires are all no more than a few years old and very little wear.  The old one were replaced due to age and side wall micro-cracks.  Steel wheels are a little scruffy, with some corrosion spots that I have cleaned up and resprayed.  New steel wheels are only $40 apiece, for those of you who demand perfection.
• Interior condition is Pretty Close to Perfect (9.5/10)

Options:

• Aerodynamic Fiberglass Nose (improves gas mileage & stability); this was a rare/expensive (~$800?) option
• 8.5 ft Body Width (8 ft is standard)
• 2^nd Side Door w/Bar Lock (a great convenience)
• Insulated Ceiling w/Dome Light & Wall Switch
• I Added 4 Pairs of D-Ring Tie-Downs (in addition 4 factory D-rings) for maximum flexibility
• One Spare Wheel w/Tire
