The conversion brands we carry

A “hauler” is a factory cab-and-chassis — Freightliner M2, Ford F-450/F-550, GM 3500 — finished by a specialist upfitter with a custom bed, an upgraded interior, and a suspension built to tow. At the Lake, the boats keep getting bigger, so the truck has to keep up — which is where the heavier medium-duty builds earn their keep. Here’s who we stock and what sets each apart.

Laredo Conversions

Practical, payload-focused builds with a genuinely functional hauler bed and a comfortable cab, without the six-figure premium of the fully custom shops. We’re also the place to spec a new Laredo to your exact build.

Western Hauler

The old-school luxury benchmark: high-gloss walnut consoles, exotic leathers, western stitching, and heavy steel hauler beds.

SportChassis

The Freightliner-recognized name. OEM-completion M2 builds with composite hauler beds, factory-matched interiors, and the big-block torque the offshore crowd wants.

Schwalbe

Famous for the “Schwalbe Stretch,” a lengthened cab that turns the truck into a true four-door cabin with limo-like rear legroom and air-ride seating throughout.

Bolt Custom

Integrated-sleeper, open-concept cabins built in aluminum with vibration-proof fasteners for a light, rattle-free ride.

Summit Hauler

Engineered around ride comfort, with sound-deadened soft-touch cabins and a bed design that helps the truck settle under load and cut driver fatigue.

Luxe Trucks

All-aluminum hauler beds and Trailer Saver hitches across Ford, Freightliner, and Dodge chassis; the sister brand to Luxe Fifth Wheels.

2L Customs

Show-truck attitude: custom paint, blacked-out trim, and personalized interiors that bridge a work truck and a statement piece.

Buying from an out-of-state dealer: Texas tax and titling

Buying from an Indiana dealer and titling in Missouri is routine. Missouri charges a 4.225% state sales tax plus your local rate (which varies by address, from zero to roughly 5%+), and you get credit for sales tax legally paid in another state.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a special license to drive a hauler in Missouri?

For personal use, no. Missouri exempts recreational and personal-use vehicles from CDL requirements, so a regular Class F license covers a personal hauler regardless of weight. A CDL only applies if you use the truck commercially. Confirm your situation with the Missouri Department of Revenue.

What brands of hauler trucks do you sell?

We carry used conversions from the major shops — Laredo, SportChassis, Schwalbe, Western Hauler, Bolt Custom, Summit, Luxe, and 2L Customs — built on Freightliner, Ford, GM, Peterbilt, and Kenworth chassis. We can also spec a brand-new Laredo to your build.

Can I buy a hauler if I live in Missouri but you’re in Indiana?

Yes — and we’re close. We’re an appointment-only dealer in Bloomington, Indiana, one state east, and deliver throughout Missouri. You choose the truck, we recondition it and confirm a timeline, and it arrives at the address you choose.

How much is Missouri tax on a truck bought out of state?

Missouri charges 4.225% state sales tax plus your local rate, applied when you title the truck, with credit for sales tax paid in another state. Keep in mind Missouri also charges an annual personal property tax on vehicles, and you’ll need a paid receipt to title. Confirm current figures with the Missouri Department of Revenue.

Do I need an emissions test to register a hauler in Missouri?

Only if you live in the St. Louis metro counties — St. Louis City and County, St. Charles, or Jefferson. The Lake of the Ozarks region and most of the state are exempt. A safety inspection is required if the truck is over 10 model years old or has more than 150,000 miles.

What’s the best hauler for towing a go-fast boat at the Lake?

For a big go-fast or a catamaran on a triple-axle trailer, a Freightliner M2-112 build gives you the capacity and the steadiest tow. For a mid-size boat, a Ford F-450/F-550 or dually handles it comfortably. Tell us the boat and trailer weight and we’ll match the truck.
