A trailer including an axle assembly which travels horizontally beneath the trailer, transforming the trailer from a transport position to a loading position. The axle assembly is connected to a tail rod which connects with a tail ramp located at the rear of the trailer. As the axle assembly travels forward, the tail rod is removed from the tail ramp, causing the ramp to tilt down towards the ground away from the trailer bed, allowing a vehicle to be driven up over the ramp and onto the bed of the trailer. A hitch assembly allows the hitch to move in relation to the trailer, preventing damage to a towing vehicle.
