Yes. We carry bumper-pull and gooseneck trailers, including flatbed and deckover configurations. We can help you compare trailer length, axle capacity, GVWR, payload and other features based on what you need to haul.

The right trailer depends on what you’re hauling, its weight and dimensions, your tow vehicle and how you plan to load and unload it. Payload capacity is especially important—the trailer’s GVWR is not the same as the amount of cargo it can carry.

Tell our team what you’re hauling and what you’re towing with, and we’ll help you narrow down your options.

GVWR stands for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. It is the maximum allowable total weight of the trailer and its cargo when loaded.

When comparing trailers, don’t look at GVWR alone. You also need to consider the trailer’s empty weight to determine how much payload capacity is available for your equipment or cargo.

A bumper-pull trailer connects to a hitch at the rear of the tow vehicle. A gooseneck trailer connects to a hitch mounted in the bed of a properly equipped pickup.

The best option depends on the trailer, load, towing vehicle and intended use. Our team can help you compare the two when choosing a trailer.

Yes. Wheel bearing repacking is one of our preventative maintenance services. Proper bearing maintenance helps reduce wear and the risk of bearing-related problems while towing.

Service intervals depend on the trailer, mileage, use, environment and manufacturer recommendations. Trailers used frequently, under heavy loads or around water may require more frequent attention.

If you don’t know when your bearings were last serviced, we can inspect them and help determine what maintenance is appropriate.

Uneven trailer tire wear can have several causes, including tire pressure, loading, worn suspension components, wheel or hub problems, or axle-related issues. Because several components can cause similar wear patterns, an inspection is the best way to identify the actual problem.
