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. Around Charlotte, where moving a race car is a way of life, the right build comes down to the load. 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.
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.
Western Hauler
The old-school luxury benchmark: high-gloss walnut consoles, exotic leathers, western stitching, and heavy steel hauler beds.
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.
Bolt Custom
Integrated-sleeper, open-concept cabins built in aluminum with vibration-proof fasteners for a light, rattle-free ride.
CAROLINA LIFESTYLE
Built for the North Carolina lifestyle
A hauler only matters because of what it’s pulling. In North Carolina, that’s usually one of three things.
Powerboats and Lake Havasu.
Lake Norman sits right in Charlotte’s backyard, and the coast from Wrightsville Beach to the Outer Banks runs all season. The right truck gives you the tow rating and the highway manners to move a real boat.
Motorsport
The Charlotte metro — Concord, Mooresville, Huntersville — is the home base of American stock-car racing, and the enthusiast and collector scene runs just as deep. A finished hauler moves the race car or the collector piece in the comfort it deserves.

LICENSING
Do you need a CDL to drive a hauler truck in North Carolina?
For personal use you don’t need a commercial license, but North Carolina does require an upgraded non-commercial license above a weight line. A single vehicle or combination over 26,000 lbs requires a non-commercial Class B (or Class A for the heaviest combinations) — a DMV-tested license, not a CDL.
In practice, pickup-based haulers (F-350, F-450, F-550, dually) keep you on a standard Class C, while a medium-duty M2-112 build crosses into Class B territory. Always confirm your specific setup with the North Carolina DMV.

Single vehicle or combo over 26,000 lbs → non-commercial Class B.

Florida
No special license for personal use, any weight.
TAX & TITLING
Buying from an out-of-state dealer: North Carolina tax and titling
North Carolina handles vehicle tax a little differently. Instead of a sales tax, it charges a 3% Highway Use Tax (HUT) on the vehicle’s value when you title it. If your truck titles as a recreational vehicle, that HUT is capped at $2,000 — worth confirming how your specific build classifies, because on an expensive hauler the cap can save you real money.

Safety inspection
North Carolina
You’ll title and register within about 30 days of purchase. North Carolina also requires an annual safety inspection statewide, and an emissions inspection in roughly 19 metro counties (including Mecklenburg/Charlotte) — though diesel vehicles and trucks over 8,500 lbs are generally exempt from the emissions test. Counties also assess an annual property tax on vehicles. This is general guidance, not tax advice — confirm current figures with the NCDMV before you buy.

North Carolina requires an annual safety inspection statewide. Emissions testing applies in about 19 metro counties, including Charlotte’s Mecklenburg County — but diesel vehicles and trucks over 8,500 lbs are generally exempt from the emissions test. Confirm your county and vehicle with the NCDMV.
Most of our inventory is hand-picked, reconditioned used trucks — we specialize in low-mileage, well-kept conversions. We also build new Laredo trucks to order for buyers who want to spec a truck from scratch.
For an enclosed car trailer, a mid-tier Ford F-450/F-550 or dually handles most setups and keeps you on a standard license. For a big multi-car enclosed trailer, a Freightliner M2-112 build gives you the capacity and the steadiest tow — just plan for the non-commercial Class B the weight may require.
