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 morgan |

A guy in my region has a very small custom trailer w/ dual axles, open aluminum decking, and single axle brakes. Each axle is a 2200lb axle, so I guess the rating is 4400lbs. Guess how much it weights....
725lbs! yeah, you read that right. Its light. But the trailer is barely big enough to hold the car and nothing else. Kinda what i'm thinking about. Its very similar to the link you posted http://www.trailex.com/viewprod.cfm?id=13&...at=92&cat_id=92 |
