JIMGLO Car Trailer Reviews

Pro Design Hot Rods recently purchased an Enclosed Car Hauler from JIMGLO Trailers to transport our high-end show cars. Their quality and their service are second to none. JIMGLO Trailers, as a family-owned business, has afforded us very warm and personal attention from Jim and Tim Norris.  They have attended to our every detail.  The trailer is custom-fitted to our needs and is absolutely “state of the art.”  Every part, as well as the workmanship, is of the highest quality.  We recommend JIMGLO Trailers to those of you who appreciate quality and value.

Ever since I bought my GT, I have found occasional need to transport it in my Haulmark trailer. The pain in the rump has been the fact that you can’t open the doors wide enough to get out of the car once it’s inside. Thus, unless one were to crawl out of the open window (very bad form) one cannot drive into the trailer, but must instead pull it in by the nose ring with a winch. 

I was minding my own business at the Barrett-Jackson auction, when I was assaulted by a sudden urge to buy a new trailer…I, of course, have no relation to the company except that I am a customer.  Similar to a Trailex, except much beefier.  The quality is impeccable.  It is all aluminum, with one piece composite walls, floor and roof.  GT door easily clears the tires, once the wheel well is removed (spin off two wing nuts and its off).

Pulls like a dream.  Not cheap, however…made by a company called JIMGLO.  Revered among the super high end hot rod crowd.  Very small company with a very loyal following.  The workmanship is off the chart.  Walls are over an inch thick and super smooth and glossy.

I’m very happy with my JIMGLO Trailers auto tilt-bed trailer (made in Willcox, Arizona). I sometimes put a couple 2 x 10’s under the end ‘ramps’ for good measure but they’re not essential (at least for me). They’re not inexpensive trailers but they’re lightweight, well-made, functional and they pull well.

If you are planning to keep this trailer a long time, you owe it to yourself to consider a JIMGLO Trailer. Check them out at www.jimglo.com. I had a JIMGLO Tilt Bed open trailer for about 5 years and recently purchased an enclosed JIMGLO. Having used several different brands of trailers over the past 30+ years, the JIMGLO’s (IMHO) are the best-engineered and built trailers on the market. They tow great, are very easy to load with a low car, look great, and are more aerodynamic than most others. You can even drive your car in and open the driver’s door all the way to get out of the car (try that with some of the other brands of trailers).

BTW, I have no affiliation, just a satisfied customer. Give them a call, you will find they are very down-to-earth, honest, straightforward people to deal with.

If you do get an open trailer, it won’t be long before you start looking for an enclosed one. If you go anywhere overnight, you will want the security of the enclosed trailer.
