How to Draw a Car Hauler Trailer
Draw a car hauler trailer in 13 steps, about 10 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: two long decks.
Step 1: Two long decks
Draw 2 long thin planks, one high and one low, with room for cars between them.
Tip Two decks like a bunk bed: cars ride on both.
Step 2: Headboard and posts
Join the decks with a tall box at the left end. Add thin posts at the middle and right end.
Tip The headboard at the front stops the cars rolling off.
Step 3: A happy face
On the headboard draw 2 round eyes with black dots, a small smile, and a cheek under each eye.
Step 4: Two cars below
Draw 2 cars on the lower deck. Each starts and ends on the deck, with a roof, window and wheels.
Step 5: Two cars on top
On the upper deck draw 2 more little cars the same way, each with a window and 2 round wheels.
Step 6: Trailer wheels
Under the lower deck, draw 3 big wheels with hubs: 1 at the front, 2 close together at the back.
Tip Leave a gap so the wheels never touch.
Step 7: The hitch
From the front of the lower deck, draw a short bar sticking forward with a round ball on its end.
Tip The ball is where it hooks onto a truck.
Step 8: The road
Draw a road line under the wheels, stopping before each edge of your paper.
Step 9: The ramp
From the back end of the lower deck, draw a flat plank sloping down to the road.
Step 10: Yellow car, pink cheeks
Colour the front car on top yellow and the tiny cheeks pink. Leave its window white.
Step 11: Grey trailer
Colour the decks, headboard, posts, ramp, hitch and hubs stone grey, around the face. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Blue and green cars
Colour the back car below blue and the back car on top green. Leave the windows white.
Step 13: Red car, black tyres
Colour the front car below red, leaving its window white. Colour the tyres and car wheels black, around the hubs.
