The right RV car hauler depends on what you need to transport: a vehicle, general cargo, or mobility equipment. The DK2 open-rail trailer is the listed option most relevant to hauling larger items, while the MaxxHaul carriers attach to a hitch and carry cargo rather than a car. The Mockins model adds a ramp for wheeled equipment. Compare the products below carefully, and verify your RV’s hitch, towing limits, and payload requirements before buying.
| Product | Best for | Key detail |
|---|---|---|
| DK2 Open Rail Trailer | Open-trailer hauling | 6 ft. x 10 ft.; single axle |
| Mockins Aluminum Carrier | Loading wheeled equipment | Ramp; up to 500 lb. capacity |
| MaxxHaul Steel Carrier | General hitch cargo | Steel basket; 500 lb. capacity |
| MaxxHaul Aluminum Carrier | Rust-resistant cargo carrying | Aluminum basket and steel support frame |
| Toy Camper Trailer | Children’s pretend play | Small die-cast toy, not hauling equipment |
DK2 6-by-10-Foot Open Rail Trailer
This DK2 model is the closest match in the list for shoppers seeking an actual open trailer rather than a hitch-mounted cargo basket. Its listed specifications identify a 6 ft. x 10 ft. format, a single axle, and a black UV powder-coated finish.
Best for: Buyers comparing open-rail trailer formats for hauling needs. It was selected because it is the only listed full trailer rather than a receiver-mounted carrier. The supplied product information does not state its load capacity, towing requirements, or whether it is configured to carry a car.
Check before buying: Confirm the trailer’s rated capacity, connection requirements, and suitability for your intended load with the seller. Do not assume the 6-by-10-foot dimensions or single axle establish that it can safely haul a car.
Mockins Aluminum Carrier With Ramp
The Mockins carrier measures 50 x 29 x 8 inches and includes a 41 x 28-inch ramp. Its listed capacity is up to 500 pounds, and the carrier weighs 42.5 pounds. The product description says it fits a standard 2-inch receiver and includes a steel hitch arm, stabilizer, hitch lock, eye hooks, ratchet straps, and reflective strips.
Best for: RV owners transporting eligible wheeled equipment, such as a mobility scooter or wheelchair, who need a ramp for loading. The ramp and listed tie-down accessories distinguish it from the basket-only carriers.
Limitation: This is a hitch cargo carrier, not a trailer for carrying a passenger car. The listing notes 10.5 inches of arm clearance and advises checking receiver distance for rear-mounted tires.
MaxxHaul Steel Hitch Cargo Carrier
This steel carrier has high side rails and a listed maximum distributed load capacity of 500 pounds. The outer basket measures 53 x 19 x 5 inches; the inner area measures 51 x 17.5 x 4.5 inches. Its heavy-duty steel construction is intended for cargo carrying on vehicles with a 2-inch receiver.
Best for: Buyers who want a steel basket for general cargo and value the stated dimensions and weight limit. It was selected as a straightforward cargo option among the listed hitch-mounted products.
Limitation: The listed capacity applies to distributed cargo, not a car. Check the vehicle and hitch limits as well as the carrier’s instructions before loading.
MaxxHaul Aluminum Cargo Carrier
This basket-style carrier uses extruded aluminum with a steel under-support frame and a 2-by-2-inch hitch shaft. Its listing describes compatibility with standard Class III and IV hitch receivers. High side rails provide tie-down points, and reflector lenses and red corner accents are included for visibility. The listed capacity is 500 pounds.
Best for: Shoppers who prefer an aluminum basket and want the described rust resistance, high rails, and visibility features. It is a better fit for general cargo than for vehicle transport.
Limitation: It is not a car hauler. Confirm receiver class, hitch limits, and the load’s securement needs before use.
Toy Camper Trailer Pull-Back Car
This product is a children’s toy, not a towing accessory. The listing gives dimensions of 8.6 x 1.4 x 2 inches and describes a die-cast car with a pull-back function, rubber tires, and camper doors and roof that open.
Best for: Families looking for a small pretend-play toy related to campers and cars. It is included to distinguish a toy trailer listing from full-size RV hauling equipment.
Limitation: Avoid this product if you need a road trailer, cargo carrier, or equipment for transporting a real vehicle.
Buying Guide: What Should You Check Before Choosing?
Do you need a trailer or a hitch cargo carrier?
A car hauler is a trailer designed for transporting a vehicle. The MaxxHaul and Mockins products listed here are hitch-mounted cargo carriers, not car haulers. The DK2 is described as an open-rail trailer, but its supplied listing details do not confirm its capacity or suitability for carrying a car. Verify the intended use before purchase.
Will your RV and hitch support the load?
Check the RV’s towing and hitch limits, the carrier or trailer’s rated capacity, and the combined weight of the load and equipment. A product’s stated capacity does not increase the RV’s limits. For a carrier, also confirm the receiver size and any clearance requirements.
Do you need a ramp or tie-down points?
Choose the Mockins model if a ramp is important for loading wheeled mobility equipment. For general cargo, compare the MaxxHaul carriers’ basket dimensions, rails, and construction. Securement needs vary by cargo, so use appropriate tie-downs and follow product instructions.
Which material and features matter?
The steel MaxxHaul has a stated basket size and heavy-duty steel construction. The aluminum MaxxHaul combines an aluminum basket with a steel support frame and includes reflectors and rail-based tie-down points. Consider the material, cargo dimensions, exposure to weather, and ease of loading rather than treating these products as interchangeable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a hitch cargo carrier haul a car?
No. The listed MaxxHaul and Mockins products are cargo carriers, not car-hauling trailers.
Which listed product includes a loading ramp?
The Mockins aluminum carrier includes a built-in ramp, according to its product description.
Do the MaxxHaul carriers list a weight capacity?
Yes. Both listed MaxxHaul carriers specify a 500-pound capacity. Check the product instructions and the RV’s hitch limits before loading.
Is the DK2 trailer confirmed for transporting cars?
The supplied product information identifies a 6-by-10-foot single-axle open-rail trailer but does not state its load capacity or confirm car-hauling suitability. Verify those details with the seller.
What should I confirm before using a trailer with an RV?
Confirm the RV’s towing limits, the trailer’s rated capacity, hitch and connection requirements, and whether the trailer is designed for the load you plan to carry.
