Car trailer
Does anyone know where I can get a nice car trailer with a solid deck to pull the mustang. Looking at going out of state to shows. Thanks

Re: Car trailer
There are a few places. Best thing is to find one used... a nice aluminum one.
I built one that is so heavy I NEED to pull it with my diesel...
There is a trailer shop on rt 3 business right behind Glen Burnie transmission on rt 2.
Also The trailer guy on the corner of rt2 and west street in Annapolis by Bagels Bagels Bagels... is real good. I purchased the axles to make my trailer from him. Reasonable prices. Centerville Trailer is the name.

Re: Car trailer
Wow... Yes I would be pulling with my Tundra. I was hoping to find a used one for around 1800. I will keep looking. I also have to watch due to how low mine sits now. I just ordered the cams Comp Stage 2. Just got to get the charger and off to JPC it goes. Getting excited.

Re: Car trailer
I would not rent one from Uhaul. I had one from Uhaul a while back it was horrible. Penske rents nice aluminum trailers.
I found my 18ft full deck Brimar trailer on racingjunk.com. Its got a 4' dove tail, brakes on all 4 axles. I got it for 800 bucks, only had to put about 400 more in it to pass MD inspection. I'm still debating going to an enclosed trailer so I can just leave my tools, fuel, car in the trailer if I like.

Re: Car trailer
Weird, I rented on from U-haul and it worked fine. Not the best in the world but it got the job done.

Re: Car trailer
OK. I found a 83" between fenders and 18' long. Just want to make sure it will work. I figure if I buy one of these I can sell my 4x8 lanscape trailer for around 400 and save me some money but doing so. I want one just in case I ever need it. Not to mention to haul 2 ton of pellets a year.

Re: Car trailer
Does it have a Dove or beaver tail? As low as your front end is your going to need it.
Got a pic of your landscape trailer?

Re: Car trailer
It appears to be a dovetail. I have to look around for a pick of it. If not I can post one. I may try to get this trailer he is asking 2000 and is a 2010 model. Used once with no scratches

Re: Car trailer
Hey I need to know if there is anything that i need to tow this trailer. It has dual brakes. I am using a 2000 tundra that has a 4 prong wire connector for trailer. I have the 2 5/16th ball. Info please would like to pick this up tomorrow.

Re: Car trailer
Does your trunda have a brake controller? You probably won't need it just to tow an empty trailer home. I had a prodigy in my titan (going to sell that soon), my new truck has a controller. You may need an adapter if the trailer has the round 7 prong (I believe) plug. Any trailer shop will have it. The ball should be fine.
I would get a weight distribution hitch. I have a equalizer hitch and love it.

Re: Car trailer
Prodigy brake controllers are the best by far! Thats what I run. Thats something you dont want to skimp on.
BJ, you will need to wire the brake controller in and also run another seperate 12v constant wire back to a 7 round connector. (most of the time theyre already run you just have to fund them) That will charge the break-away battery on the trailer. I do these at work and at home all the time for customers. Its not really that hard just a little time consuming. If you want I can help you wire it up. I know all the color codes and where to hook it in at.
Also check the rating for your hitch before you tow anything. Figure the trailer weighs about 1500lbs + the weight of your car.

Re: Car trailer
Yes I dont have any of these on my truck? What does something like this run for materials and labor. I will be squeeking to just buy the trailer. I might try to get him to lower the price or tow it to my house. I did not think that 1900 was a bad deal.

Re: Car trailer
Hey Bob I may have to take you up on this offer to help me install everything needed to tow. I am hoping to be able to have the seller deliver for me tomorrow. Hit me up and let me know what i need to buy for a 2000 tundra so I can start getting money together.

Re: Car trailer
If your tundra has a tow package, it should have the wiring for the controller. Like Bob said you just have to find it. I'll give you a good deal on my prodigy if you want it.

Re: Car trailer
If it will work for my truck. Shoot me a pm with price. I am not sure if the fenders are removable or not. But i have vertical doors so should not be an issue. there is 83" between the fenders. I have the guy dropping it off tomorrow for me. What a deal.
The trailer that i am going to sell is a 4x8 trailer and the bed extends from 8' to 11.5'. 2" coupler. All rails are removable. This is a great trailer for motorcycle, or atv. I used to move our bikes when we moved and then for landscape gravel and dirt.

Re: Car trailer
BJ, I would buy the Prodigy controller. As far as the rest of the wiring I can find it. It shouldnt take much more than an hour or 2 to get the controller and the 7 round plug wired in.

Re: Car trailer
Well as all good things come to an end. I got a call from the seller last night and was told he can not sell the trailer to me due to his wife not allowing him to take first cash offer. What a crock, someone called and offerred more and he did not have the nads to just tell me that. Oh well. I will still wire the truck I think as I will get a trailer by next spring. Just has BS like this.
