Who has a car trailer? and how long?

I would get at least an 18 footer. If you need to haul something bigger it's better to have more room than you need.

this is my LTD on a 16 footer

 

get an 18' footer if u have room. I had a 18' then sold it, went to 16' dovetail to make it easier to fit in the garage (with the car on it) and that was all it did.....fit in the garage better. I would have gladly traded back for the 18' dove tail.

 

Here's mine with a tool box behind the shield.

 

Ray i think you have to much money maybe give me the F-150

 

I have an 18 foot and can haul most any vehicle. The biggest would be some lwb F-350 flatbeds or a scrap 48 dodge 2 ton. Here is a pic with a comet on it that I don't know why I bought.

 

because it's a 2dr LDO with some good parts on it

 

Heres my trailer 18'

 

18'

Enough said.

 

I have a 16'. A Maverick fits on it with no problem. The two biggest things I hauled were a '69 F150 long bed and 65 Galaxie coupe. They fit fine, but the back bumpers hung off the end. If you have a room for an 18', you could put a tool box on it. I plan on putting a tongue box on mine someday.

 

Thanks, I have a 2006 GMC crewcab Z71 with the trailer package, it should be big enough.
I like John's idea about it fitting in the garage...
I'm just sick of borrowing cheap asses hacked up trailers..plus I could use it for work!!
Thanks Guys! I think it'll be an 18'

 

Are you talking about overall length, including the triangular section from the actual carrying part of the trailer or just the area carrying the car. If so, my trailer is 16' on the box and almost 21' overall.

I have never had a problem hauling any size car from Mavericks, Cougars, Mustangs, to Nomads on it. I even went to Ky and picked up one of the Nomads, a '56, and hauled it home with no problem.

18 feet is a good size ,you need the extra room for a tool box up front ,mine will be for sale soon ,im going with a 24 foot inclosed .i want sleeping quarters at the track then theres no need for a camper.

 

Trailer

I have used a 16 foot for over 20 years. My neighbor hauled an F-150 from Ft. Worth, TEXAS to Mexico, no problems. Once I loaded 15,000 pounds of cow exhaust and pulled it with an F-350 Powerstroke.

The wood floor rotted away in about 3 years, so I welded 4 pound extruded steel in place of the wood. It tows easier with the steel than with the wood.
The trailer has 2 inch diameter rails and an I beam frame.

Over in east TEXAS there are many, many trailer builders, building all types of trailers.

One of the most important things when selecting, make sure it has electric binders.

There is plenty of room on the front for a tool box.

One neat thing I did on my trailer was to weld 1 inch square stock steel 4 foot tall on the rear frame braces and installed an extra set of lights. I mounted the lights to a piece of tire tread for movement in case they are bumped.

This makes the trailer easier to see from behind and when backing it up the white steel uprights let you know where both sides of the trailer are.
