The PlayCraft 8.5′ × 20′ RV Special Utility Trailer is a rugged, high-capacity hauling solution built for customers who need serious performance from their trailer. Whether you’re transporting heavy equipment, construction materials, landscaper gear, outdoor toys like ATVs or UTVs, or RV accessories, this trailer delivers strength, versatility and reliability that stand up to regular use.
Rated at 7,000 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the 8.5×20 PlayCraft utility trailer is designed to handle tough loads without compromise. With a substantial payload and tandem axle design, this trailer gives you confidence whether you’re hauling commercial gear around town or towing something big out to the job site.
Heavy-Duty Tandem Axle Build for Stability and Strength
The PlayCraft RV Special features a tandem axle configuration, which provides improved load distribution, better stability, and smoother towing compared to single-axle trailers. This makes a noticeable difference when you’re hauling heavy or uneven loads, especially on highways and long hauls out of the Phoenix and Scottsdale metro areas. Dual 3,500 lb axles help absorb road impact and ensure a steady ride even at highway speeds.
Spacious & Durable Treated Wood Deck
This trailer’s treated 2×6 wood deck is built to last and withstand daily wear from heavy tires, tools, pallets, or bulky items. The wide 8.5-foot deck width and 20-foot length give you plenty of room to load multiple pieces of equipment, supplies, or large recreational gear. The treated wood resists rot and damage from weather exposure, ensuring lasting performance in Arizona’s dry heat and occasional rain.
Easy Loading with a 4′ Spring-Assist Ramp Gate
One of the key benefits of the RV Special model is the 4-foot spring-assist ramp gate. This ramp makes loading and unloading equipment, machinery, or recreational vehicles significantly easier. The spring assist helps counterbalance the weight of the ramp, so you spend less effort lifting and more time hauling. Whether you’re loading a lawn mower, skid steer, or favorite toys, the ramp gate speed-limits unloading time and improves safety.
LED Lighting System for Road Visibility and Safety
Equipped with LED trailer lights, this PlayCraft utility trailer offers brighter, more energy-efficient lighting than traditional bulbs. LED lights provide better visibility on the road, enhancing safety during dawn, dusk or night hauling. The lighting harness is built for reliability, making it suitable for long hauls across the state, whether you’re heading east toward Tucson or north up I-17.
Towing Features Built for Control
The 8.5×20 utility trailer includes a 2-5/16″ hitch coupler, electric brakes with breakaway kit, and a heavy-duty drop-leg jack for stable on-lot setup. These features combine to give you confident towing and a secure connection between your truck and trailer. The electric brakes improve stopping power, especially important when you’re hauling heavier loads.
Wheels, Tires, and Convenience Extras
Rolling on quality radial tires designed for load capacity, the PlayCraft utility trailer offers a smoother ride and better durability than basic bias ply tires. A welded, lockable spare tire mount adds convenience and peace of mind for long trips or remote job sites. LED lights, breakaway system and quality wiring also contribute to overall durability and professional-grade build quality.
