So, now that we will be adding a R the scale may be tipping to the point where owning a trailer make make sense.... as we could use the enclosed car hauler for HEP R and well as our Lemons "race" car.
I know very little about these trailers. I've been towing boats since I was 16 but have zero knowledge on car haulers. I have been looking as Discovery, ATC, Stealth, Pace American, Trailer and others.
What brands are good? which are crap?
What features/attributes should I look for in a "quality" aluminum enclosed trailer?
I intended to tow with my Grand Cherokee (max tow rating of 7700lbs)
So, R weights 3700lbs, and I'll need weight to spare for race weekend (tools, spares) so I figure the trailer should weigh no more than 3000lbs.
BUDGET: $10-$12,000
Features I'm looking at:
escape hatch
min interior height 6'
wired for electric hook up
winch plate
interior lighting
exterior lighting
ramp extension
extra tie downs
tire rack
any thoughts, advice or referrals would be appreciated.
Ideally I would be able to find a dealer that would take my Mercedes Sprinter (delivery van for my now closed furniture store) in trade. I figure it's worth around $14k.... would like to pretty much just trade it straight up for a trailer.
