    Depends on the carhauler. Some of the 4-5
    Car carhaulers were made to haul a road tractor safely. A standard stinger 9 car carhauler you can fit heavier stuff but it damages the deck anything heavier than a 5500 diesel which is generally 7,000-8,500 lbs as a cab and chassis. Just because it fits doesn’t mean it is made to haul it without damaging one’s equipment.

    That is a loaded question. What make and model of car hauler? There are a lot of differences between types.
