Can I Put a Car in My Toy Hauler?
The best that can be said to answer this question is it is possible. While RV makers make their garages long and wide enough, it may not be the best decision you could make. If you put your car inside the garage, you probably won’t have room for anything else.
We say this not because the garage is too small or the car is too large but because the car may take up almost all of your payload capacity. Weight is king when it comes to RVs, towing, and toy haulers. There is only so much weight your tow vehicle or RV can handle. You cannot go past those limits.
Then you have to watch out for the design of the toy hauler. Some models have washer and dryer hookups in the garage. If you want to use those appliances, then the car you want to bring along may not fit.
What Size Car Fits in a Toy Hauler
If you need your car on vacation it may not be convenient to own a toy hauler. You are limited by the size and weight of the vehicle. The first thing that you have to do is measure your garage to see how long it is. Most garages will be the same width as there is only so much room a road lane has.
Generally, you are limited to smaller cars like economy or sub-compacts. There will be toy haulers with 14 feet of room but not all cars will fit in that space if you want to open the doors and get out.
If you look at the chart above and divide those figures by 12 you will get the exact length of each in feet. A 159-inch vehicle is roughly 13 feet. Those are small vehicles so you can see how much room you have to play with.
Can You Put a Car in a Class A Toy Hauler?
The answer would be that it is possible but not convenient. There is not a lot of room in a Class A RV for a very large car and even the smaller ones may have difficulty fitting in. it would depend on who made the Class A toy hauler.
You would be better off using a 5th wheel trailer that was a toy hauler to bring your car. Those rigs are larger, have a higher ceiling, and may have larger payload room. Then there are benefits of owning a Class A Toy hauler but price is not one of those benefits.
Expect to pay more for one of these rigs and expect to pay for more fuel. The benefits may not outweigh the negatives of using this vehicle to haul your car to your camping area. These options are also very long making them hard to maneuver when you go into a parking lot or gas station.
Some Cars That Fit in Toy Haulers
There are about 45 cars that should fit inside a toy hauler but that is touch and go. It will all depend on the size of the garage and the payload weight limit your toy hauler comes with.
Some of the other cars that will fit and are not mentioned in the chart above are: Hyundai Accent, Honda Fit, Mercedes Benz SLC, Kia Soul, Nissan Versa Note, Volkswagon Golf, Hyundai Veloster, Subaru BRZ, Toyota 86, and the BMW Z4.
To find out about the other 25, click on the link underneath the table and go to the website. The fact that these cars will fit does not mean it is practical to haul your car in that fashion.
You may have trouble with the ramps. Those ramps may not be rated to handle the heavy weight your car brings with it. Driving your car in and out may cause those ramps to fail and create a lot of damage to your vehicle.
Will a Smart Car Fit in a Toy Hauler?
This is a possibility but again it may not be the best idea you have had. The Smart for Two is only 106 inches long and weighs just over 2000 pounds. Those stats tell you that you should meet the length and weight limits on your toy hauler.
The problem will be the ramps. Not the weight those ramps can hold but the angles of the entry and exit points. Some ramps may have too sharp of an angle for smaller cars to negotiate on either end or both ends. You may have to alter the angle to get the car inside the garage.
But if the smart car is small and light enough, it is a possibility.
Can a Toy Hauler Carry a Jeep?
Most Jeep Wranglers weigh between 3970 and 4449 pounds and range in length between 166 to 188 inches long. It would be a tight fit if your garage was long enough. 166 inches translates into 14 feet and 188 inches translates into 16 feet in length approx.
To haul a jeep you may have to buy a specialized toy hauler trailer made to handle such lengths and weights. These trailers are designed for cars whereas the toy hauler on an RV and 5th wheel is not.
Then, keep in mind that those weights only refer to the Jeep’s weight. If you have personal items or tools inside the vehicle, you need to add their weight to the total. It just might not be possible due to weight concerns.
Will a Polaris Ranger Fit in a Toy Hauler?
Yes and no. It will fit if the dimensions of the garage are large enough and you have enough payload room to handle the weight of the vehicle. It won’t fit if the Polaris is 73 inches tall and the garage opening is 73 inches tall.
You would have to take careful measurements and do some good calculations depending on the design of your toy hauler. This is not an issue where guessing is okay.
You have to know for a fact what the dimensions for both are before trying to get this vehicle inside the garage. Then double-check your weight limits. Not only do you have to know the weight of the payload capacity and the vehicle’s weight.
You also have to know the weight of all your equipment, tools, supplies, and so on. Something may not be making the trip if you go over your limits.
What Size Toy Hauler For 2 Harleys?
It is not the size that will be the most important factor here. A 14 by 8-foot garage should handle the 2 Harleys or other motorcycle brands you want to bring with you. Motorcycles do not take up that much room.
You should get 2 side-by-side with ease if your toy hauler garage is large enough. What is the most important factor is the payload capacity of the toy hauler. If the 2 Harleys go above that weight limit, then you either need to get a bigger toy hauler or only take one motorcycle with you.
Weight is going to be the final deciding point in this case.
Will a Side By Side Fit in a Toy Hauler?
As we have repeatedly stated throughout this article, it will be the length and weight of the side by side that determines if it will fit inside a toy hauler garage. A small side by side measures 10 feet in length and weighs about 1300 pounds.
Those dimensions should leave you with enough room to add more supplies, gear, or equipment. The larger ones are around 12 1/2 feet long and weigh 1575 pounds, still leaving you room for some extras.
However, the height of this vehicle may be your problem as many are 6’ 5” tall. If you have that amount of room then it won’t fit. You need a height of 6’ 8” or more to fit your side by side in the garage.
What Size Toy Hauler For a Can-Am X3?
You have to measure your Can-Am X3 to get the answer to that question. We can only give you examples for specific sizes. For example, if you own a Can-Am X3 that is 11 feet long, 5 feet 4 inches wide, and 5 feet 5 inches high, then you would need at least a 12-foot length in your toy hauler garage to fit this vehicle.
That is if the garage is over 5 feet 5 inches tall. While some toy haulers have garages that are 18 feet in length, you may not be lucky enough to own one. But some Can-Am X3 models come in at 72+ inches wide so you have to be careful of the width and their height is almost 6 feet.
Their weight will range between 1400 to 1700 pounds, as an example, so consider that as well.
Can a Toy Hauler Carry an RZR?
If you have a large one, it is possible. On one model of the RZR, the dimensions measure 146 by 73 3/4 by 64 inches. In feet, those measurements translate into 12 feet 2 inches by 6 1 3/4 inches by 5 feet 4 inches.
The dry weight is roughly 1600 to 1700 pounds. If those factors are small and light enough then you can haul your RZR in your toy hauler. Your biggest issue will be the height as not all toy haulers are that tall.
Do some careful calculations to make sure your RZR will fit inside your toy hauler. This is not something where you have a lot of play in the numbers.
Some Final Words
While using your toy hauler to transport your vehicle sounds like a good idea. It may not be the best one. Yes, certain size cars will fit inside the garage but there is more to this chore than just size dimensions.
You have to factor in the weight, the amount of cargo, equipment, and supplies you want along for the ride. Then the ramps may not be strong enough to handle the weight of your car or other toys. It just might not be worth it to haul a car.
