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
