Anyone Trailering your car? - Page 2

When I get a trailer it'll probably be a featherlight open aluminum ... plenty space, less blowing around in the wind than an enclosed and a bit less expensive. I don't see myself needing an enclosed.

That was my plan, as well.
This enclosed is a great opportunity... one that I might pass on, since I think it will be very tight even with the great design. 18' is best for a Porsche.

I'll be upgrading my car trailer this year.

I really like this concept. G

Price is going to come in about 9K w/tax-lic

But I'm undecided which model I like the most

Either for 9K seems inexpensive.

I really like the bagged one, although at 18' it will be tight. They don't have any form of contact besides an email? Makes me wonder.

Why would someone want a steel center - seems like a lot more weight for no reason... what am I missing?

I could not do less than a 24 foot enclosed after having the luxury of a 28.

Beautiful rig!

What do you use to tow that?

ICTsccaCamaro · 07-24-2017, 11:26 AM

The current trailer is an 18-foot steel deck with only a 2-foot dove so it requires some long ramp extensions to get the car on and off without dragging the splitter, added the rock guard and E Track for wheel straps front and rear, hoping the new car won't be much lower and can get on and off the trailer just as easily.

Thank you. I tow with a Ram dually 3500 but that is overkill. I have that truck because I'm usually sporting a 4000lb camper on top to keep out of the weather at the track. The trailer itself can be towed by a medium sized truck or SUV. It's all aluminum construction. ATC make some really impressive trailers and you can outfit them anyway you want...walk on roof for observation, sleeping quarters, full shop, etc... The limit is your checkbook.

Email Only=Not really for a small shop.

When I didn't have a Shop Secretary I'd put the recorder on. You'll never get any work done answering phone questions all day

They're in SoCal so I'll get the # for ya.

Steel centers are worth it. as it allows you to use the trailer for more than cars or strap tires down in the open space.

Sorry, No joy on a phone # guys. I did hear that this shop's designing a similar, lower cost model very soon.

I've recently got this Ram 1500 to be able to tow the 1LE

I've never towed any vehicle before so I want to try with the aluminum UHAUL car trailer (the wider one) to see if it's the towing is a something for me
