Peterbilt 389 Car Hauler Truck

Heavy-duty car carrier trucks fall into either the Class 7 or Class 8 category, meaning they have gross vehicle weight ratings (GVWR) of between 26,001 and 33,000 pounds (11,793.9 to 14,968.5 kilograms) for Class 7 and 33,001 pounds (14,969 kilograms) or more for Class 8. They are often used to transport new vehicles from manufacturing plants to dealerships as well as to move used automobiles around the country. The most common configurations use an open-style carrier trailer that can typically haul between nine and eleven cars, but there are also enclosed carriers that can support up to five vehicles while also protecting them from adverse weather conditions and other outside elements.

Common Features

While you have the option to buy a truck and trailer separately, car hauler trucks are sold as a set. They use hydraulics to raise and lower their ramps for loading and unloading vehicles, and they often feature a head rack or “headache” rack that extends over the cab to accommodate more cars. When loaded, the automobiles are securely attached to the trailer to limit vibration and movement and minimize the risk of damage.
