U-Haul just put some serious muscle behind your weekend toys. Inside its Novi, Michigan factory, 16 blue-collar rockstars turn raw galvanized steel into a fully wired, surge-braked Toy Hauler every 60 minutes—no robots, just “asses and elbows,” as the boss says.
Key Points
-
Bigger Bed: 98.5-inch deck and 6834-lb payload outgun the classic Auto Transport.
-
Hand-Built Speed: One trailer an hour, ten-hour shifts, four days a week—pure human horsepower.
-
Nationwide Rollout: Goal is 5000 units across 24 k locations before the ball drops on 2025.
At $104 a day, it’s a 21-buck upcharge that buys triple ramps, drive-over fenders, and bragging rights the AT can’t match. If you’ve got a Slingshot, side-by-side, or Grandma’s gull-wing Gold Wing to haul, this flat-deck beast just hit the reservation screen.
