Enclosed Trailer Help! Newb

What are you towing with?

I personally think 20' is too short for anything but a miata sized car and would keep shopping for a 24'

I would also be looking for 5,000 lb axles if you are going to 24' I would prefer more wiggle room than 400 pounds, which can disappear fast.

I'd go 28'. It's a pretty standard size that's easy to resale and will fit your stuff. You never know if you'll decide to haul a golf cart, SXS, etc with the car. You WILL run out of room no matter what size you go with. Just works that way.

I have an aluminum ATC and think it is one of the best trailers made.

I just went through the same thing. I have a '13 Boss, '16 GT350, and a '69 Firebird track car that will all see trailer time. I will be pulling with a '13 F150 with Ecoboost. I ended up ordering a 24' Haulmark Aluminum that has an escape door, finished interior, red in color, aluminum wheels, 10k axles, a 4' flip out ramp extender with extra tall bumpers (so I won't have to use race ramps), etc. I will have less than $11k in in after it is all said and done...that is brand new. It also has a wedge front and sloped front roof (so it will actually be a little larger than a square-front 24' trailer. I looked for a good used one for a long time, but the difference between new and used wasn't enough for me to forgo the 6 year warranty, ability to get exactly what I want, and piece of mind when traveling.

A friend has a 24' Featherlite in Woodland for sale for 12K and almost new.

You need a 9800 lb GVW trailer. My 22 foot feather lite all-aluminum trailer weighs 8400 lbs with a Camaro & tools/gear.

I've used a 24' enclosed - twin axle - trailer for years. That size is really all you need unless you're a pro racer and need to haul all manor of spares etc. The 24' I just sold had a generator compartment - cabinets - and plenty of room for all my race related spares.

PM me the details.

Ok so the 20ft is out, I think the 24ft is really the way to go.

I ordered a new truck also, the wife pulled my Yukon for baby duty only. The truck is a 2017 F250 Diesel so issues pulling anything really.

Greg is that the brand new trailer you had earlier this year? bummer I wish I knew!

What happened is Chet took my brand new one - 24' InTech - and I think the one Charley mentioned might be either Charley's old feather lite or Chet's.


That will be a really nice truck!!!

is Chet planning on hitting up T-HIll in october? any update on his mustang getting back together.

thanks! I'm overly excited about the truck! I just spoke with Mike on the featherlite he is sending me pics.

Thoughts on this one?

Seems like a lot of trailer for the $$

I've also heard good things about the ATC line of trailers.
