What are the typical weights of trailers to tow a car with?
thinking 16'-18' w/ dual axle and electric brakes. Open or closed decks, and aluminum, diamond plate, and wood decks would be factors. What is the lightest & smallest trailer w/ brakes capable of carrying an f-body?
Trying to calculate possible total payload including trailer, car, spares, and tools.

thanks

You should probably put this post in the towing section so people can find it later with a search easier if they have the same question.

My steel full deck 18' trailer says it weighs 1700 lbs. on the title. I've never weighed it to see if it's accurate. I wouldn't be surprised if it was heavier than some others. It's a very thick diamond plate floor. You should be able to get something like this for about $1700 or so new.

I think aluminum ones from companies like Featherlite and Trailex are in the 1200 lbs. range even with a tire rack. They're VERY expensive though, above $3K.
