How difficult was it to get the car on the u-haul trailer? Was the front splitter on the car when you loaded it?
I have a video posted somewhere on here (I forget what thread) with how I did it. The splitter was off and what the video doesn't show is I had to drive onto 2x8 pieces of wood to get the front of the car past the front end of the trailer because it would have otherwise hit, even without the splitter not installed. The front has to overhang the trailer.

look into rear airbags for the Raptor.
I have them on my eco f150, and airing it up lets me raise the trailer high enough to get even better ground clearance for loading/unloading

as well as its really a better more comfortable ride even when unloaded.

Good advice, thanks. I want to get an enclosed trailer for the trips in the summer and fall, I will look into getting bags in place by then.

id HIGHLY suggest getting a power jack on the trailer then too. i recently upgraded after the hand crank busted on mine. remote controlled and all. insane how easy and fast it is now, as well as you can raise the trailer for the hieght issue that way also

Enclosed trailer WITH air conditioning. My drag car trailer had it and it was a very much appreciated option.

I am so confused by this topic....

No offense to anyone, but is going to a dealer to look at a car, video worthy..? Honestly, I've done this a dozen times, never video taped myself doing it, let alone explaining it to myself, what I am seeing, or doing... or while driving there. I can see if it was the delivery of your own car (perhaps).
