  •  A single axle trailer will be a 2” ball and a tandem axle trailer will be a 2 5/16” ball.

How do I pay?

  • We accept the deposit with a credit/debit card. The remaining balance can be paid with a cashier’s check, cash, or a wire transfer. Due to credit card fraud, we do not take cards over the phone for full balance. For full payment with a card, customers must be in person with proper ID.

What do I need at pickup?

  • You will need the correct ball size (tandem axle = 2 5/16” ball, single axle = 2” ball). You will also need a 4-way lug wrench. For safety, always tighten your lug nuts before leaving, re-check at 50 miles, then re-check at 100 miles.
