RC 8.5×20 Enclosed Cargo Trailer

The Vehicle-Class Box

Eight and a half feet wide, twenty feet long — the RC 8.5×20 crosses into vehicle-hauling territory, built in Indiana in steel or aluminum with RC’s Heavy Duty series waiting when the work gets serious.

Where Cargo Meets Car Hauler

Meet the RC 8.5×20 Enclosed Cargo Trailer

At 8.5 feet of width, an enclosed trailer changes species — the 8.5×20 is where cars, UTVs with width, and full equipment fleets start riding inside. Twenty feet of floor takes most vehicles with strapping room to spare, and the width finally gives door openings the clearance mirrors and fenders demand. RC builds this class across its ladder, with the Heavy Duty series — in bumper pull and gooseneck — aimed squarely at owners who load heavy and often. It’s the footprint for race weekends, equipment fleets, and businesses that travel with their inventory.

Built Around Vehicles

Width and Length Where Vehicles Need It

The 8.5-wide body is the whole point: door openings and interior clearance sized for vehicles, machines parked without mirror origami, and wall room left for tires, tools, and a workbench. Twenty feet of length covers most cars and trucks with tie-down room at both ends — and when it’s not hauling a vehicle, it’s the biggest mobile storage unit on the block.

Two Metals, Four Series

Steel or Aluminum, From Entry Level to Race

Every RC footprint comes with two big decisions built in. First, the metal: steel builds bring upfront value and impact toughness, while aluminum trims weight and shrugs off the salt Ohio throws at everything — RC manufactures both, so the choice is yours. Second, the series: the same 8.5×20 footprint can be an Entry Level value build, a feature-rich Deluxe Model, or a Heavy Duty spec built for daily professional duty — and the Race Series tops the ladder for teams. We’ll price your size across the ladder so you can see exactly what each step buys.

Heavy Duty When It Counts

A Series Ladder That Tops Out Where You Work

Occasional haulers can spec the 8.5×20 lean; weekly haulers should look hard at RC’s Heavy Duty series, built for professional-grade duty cycles with gooseneck configurations available for the most stable heavy towing. RC’s options program layers on the vehicle-hauler equipment — doors, vents, electrical, interior — and every figure lands on a build sheet we confirm together before you commit.

Quick Answers Before You Order

RC 8.5×20 FAQs

These are some of the most common questions shoppers ask about the RC 8.5×20 before they decide to order. These FAQs break down who the 8.5×20 fits, how the series work, pricing basics, and how ordering works through our dealership.

Can the RC 8.5×20 haul a car?

The footprint is sized for it — 8.5′ of width and 20′ of floor cover most cars and light trucks with strapping room. Ratings depend on the series and axle package, so we’ll match your vehicle’s weight to the right build before you order.

Bumper pull covers most owners; RC’s Heavy Duty series adds gooseneck configurations for frequent heavy hauling, where the over-axle hitch pays off in stability. Your truck and your schedule decide.
It depends on the series and axle package your build carries — the same footprint spans single-axle value builds to heavier tandem-axle specs. We confirm the exact GVWR, payload, and interior height on your build sheet before you order.
Pricing depends on series, steel or aluminum construction, and options — and our in-stock units are priced to be competitive. Call or visit Mentor Golf Carts & Trailers for our current best price, and ask about financing while you’re at it.
Yes — series, construction, doors, and options all get specced at order, with the current lead time quoted up front and Ohio pickup or nationwide delivery when it lands.
