This 18-foot Executive Edition hauler is designed to take the stress out of transport, whether you are moving a show car to Saratoga Springs or a heavy-duty UTV through Gloversville. At Outdoor Motor Sports & Trailer Sales, we recognize that our local climate in Fonda, Canajoharie, and Fort Hunter is unforgiving; that is why we provide this 100% rust-proof aluminum alternative to heavy, corroding steel trailers.

Staff Expert Tip: “If you’re tired of the ‘door-ding’ anxiety when loading your vehicle, the RTD system is worth every penny. It effectively eliminates the need for cumbersome wooden blocks or ‘over-the-fender’ acrobatics, making it the most user-friendly car hauler in our lineup.”

What is the advantage of the 82-inch width on this Aluma model?
The 82-inch deck width (between the fenders) is specifically designed to accommodate wide-track vehicles, such as modern sports cars with wide rear tires or full-size side-by-sides. It gives you the extra breathing room needed to load safely without rubbing your rims against the trailer frame.
How does the torsion axle suspension benefit my vehicle’s transport?
Unlike leaf springs, which can transfer harsh road vibrations directly to your cargo, torsion axles use internal rubber cords to dampen shocks independently at each wheel. This provides a much “softer” ride for your vehicle, protecting delicate suspensions and preventing shifted loads on bumpy backroads.
Is this trailer suitable for hauling more than just cars?
Absolutely. While it is optimized for vehicles, the flat, extruded aluminum floor and 7,000 lb GVWR make it incredibly versatile. It is frequently used for hauling compact tractors, large batches of construction materials, or multiple ATVs, making it a true multi-purpose investment.
