Yo, what’s good y’all? It’s your boy Matthew here, and I’ve got a little story to tell you. So, it was a hot summer day, and I had just picked up my brand new Jeep.
I was so excited to take it off-roading and on adventures, but I had one problem: I didn’t have a way to transport it. I had a toy hauler, but I wasn’t sure if my Jeep would fit inside.
I didn’t want to risk damaging my new ride, so I decided to measure it out and do some research before trying to squeeze it inside.
And let me tell you, it was a close call. But, after some careful planning and a little bit of maneuvering, I was able to get my Jeep inside the toy hauler without a scratch.
But, I know I’m not the only one who’s had this problem. So, I’m here to give you the lowdown on whether or not a Jeep will fit in a toy hauler, and how to make it happen if it does.

Toy Hauler Sizes
Now, let’s talk about toy haulers. Toy haulers are a type of recreational vehicle that are designed to transport “toys” like motorcycles, ATVs, and even cars.
They come in a variety of sizes, but most toy haulers are designed to fit vehicles that are around 7 feet tall and around 16-18 feet long.
So, Will a Jeep Fit in a Toy Hauler?
The short answer is: it depends on the model of Jeep and the size of the toy hauler.
A Jeep Wrangler will likely fit in most toy haulers, as long as the toy hauler has enough clearance height and length.
The Gladiator and Grand Cherokee may be a bit more of a tight squeeze, but it’s possible if the toy hauler is large enough.
How to Transport a Jeep in a Toy Hauler
If you’re determined to transport your Jeep in a toy hauler, there are a few things you can do to make it happen:
- Measure your Jeep: Before you try to fit your Jeep into a toy hauler, make sure to measure its length, width, and height. Compare these measurements to the dimensions of the toy hauler to see if they match up.
- Remove any accessories: If your Jeep has any accessories like a roof rack or spare tire carrier, remove them before trying to fit it into the toy hauler. This can help to reduce the overall size of the vehicle and make it easier to fit inside.
- Check the clearance: Some toy haulers have low clearance, so it’s important to make sure that your Jeep will fit through the door and not scrape the top of the toy hauler.
- Practice maneuvering: Practice maneuvering your Jeep into the toy hauler before you hit the road. This will help you to be more confident and to know if you need to make any adjustments.
