I have a 16' Aluma open trailer with custom 11' ramps that store under the trailer. The deck is 16" above the ground. I pull it behind a Saab 97X aero with a 6 litre. It hauls down the highway at 75 mph up and down hills. I've no problem storing tools, tires and refreshments in my truck, My empty trailer weights under 1200 lbs, has 3500 lb axles.
My recommendations:
1/ Stay small and light;
2/ Get long ramps so you don't need to carry extra wood or rubber extensions;
3/ Brakes on two axles;
4/ Buy and extra wheel and tire for that one day when you need it.
Good luck,
