Car Hauler Trailer.

[chas0218]

I am looking at the Gatormade low boy with under trailer ramp 16' 7,000 GVW and the PJ 5" channel car hauler both trailers are within $500 of each other but I'm not sure of the pro's and con's of the gatormade. We have a Pj trailer at my summer job and it is a beast and hauls most things it probably shouldn't have.

I have been but the ones I have been finding are as expensive as new ones.

I prefer all metal... I have an 18ft dove tail with wide slide out ramps. Depending what you'll be hauling check for ground clearance and most important the trailer's fenders. Be sure they are removable or low enough for your car doors to open. Also something to keep in mind, the longer the tongue on the trailer the more likely it will ride smoother. I also like to have side steps on the trailer, easy to move around on the trailer while your car is loaded. And of course it must have at least one axle with brakes.

 

I paid $3200 for mine 4 years ago. Good luck shopping for one.

The brand is a dove tail right?

 

I have an 86 camaro that I plan to run at the track every once and a while but will be more for ATVs, Lawn mowers, and small tractors. I liked the gatormade because it has 1 set of brakes for each axel so it has a little more braking power. I am also looking in the torsion bar setup instead of the spring style. I like the idea of being able to remove 1 tire and rim and be able to limp to the nearest rest stop/garage.

 

Thanks,
