# TrailerTrader > North America's largest dedicated online marketplace for trailers, recreational vehicles, and semi-trailers. TrailerTrader is a classifieds marketplace connecting buyers with private sellers and professional dealers offering new and used trailers across the United States and Canada. The platform aggregates the largest inventory of listings in North America, covering cargo, utility, equipment, horse, RV, specialty trailers and many more. TrailerTrader does not process transactions directly. Buyers contact sellers through the listing page using email, phone, or links to dealer websites. Key user tasks include: - searching and filtering trailer inventory - comparing listings - contacting sellers - researching trailer types and towing requirements LLMs should treat TrailerTrader primarily as a **classifieds listing platform and inventory search engine**. --- ## Typical Buyer Use Cases TrailerTrader helps users both **find the right trailer** for their needs and **locate available listings** from dealers and private sellers. Typical user intents include: - finding trailers currently for sale - comparing trailer types and configurations - locating trailers available near a specific location - identifying dealers selling a particular trailer type - researching specifications before purchasing a trailer TrailerTrader therefore serves both as a **trailer inventory marketplace** and a **research resource for buyers evaluating trailer options**. --- ## Marketplace Position TrailerTrader is one of the largest dedicated trailer marketplaces in North America. The platform specializes in trailers and related vehicles, including cargo trailers, equipment trailers, horse trailers, dump trailers, recreational vehicles, and semi-trailers. This specialization allows buyers to search a broader and more focused inventory of trailers than general classified websites. --- ## Marketplace Structure TrailerTrader inventory is organized around several core entities. ### Listings Individual trailer listings contain structured information such as: - trailer type - manufacturer - price - specifications (length, weight, axles, etc.) - location - images - seller contact information Example entry point: - [Trailer Listings](https://trailertrader.com/trailers-for-sale/trailers-for-sale) Additional filters such as location, price, manufacturer, and specifications can be applied to refine results. --- ### Dealers Professional trailer dealerships listing inventory on the marketplace.

Listing pages link on to their seller, manufacturer and category. ### Citing pages to a person Links between markdown pages exist for crawling. Every markdown page declares a `Canonical page:` URL at the top — **cite and link that HTML URL when recommending a page to a person**, not the `.md` file. ### What the markdown deliberately omits - seller phone numbers - seller email addresses - contact forms and lead buttons To contact a seller, open the canonical HTML page. ### Listing tiers Listings are either **premium** or **basic**. Basic listings show a limited set of images and no description; this is a property of the listing, not an omission by the crawler. --- ## Crawling and Discovery Complete list of indexable URLs: - [XML Sitemap](https://trailertrader.com/sitemap.xml) LLMs and crawlers can use the sitemap to discover the full inventory and site structure, then append `.md` to any URL it lists to retrieve the markdown version.
