I'm looking to buy a car trailer. Something a little more than the average 18' tag. Let me know what you think of these:

I think a couple of those trailers you listed are a little "overkill" for that average 18' tag car trailer, but to each his own. Three 9,000lb axles? I see those behind large tandem dually dumps.

For a couple of grand used, you can find lots of stuff available that'll carry a car. But if you plan on carrying the car and truck at the same time, that 36' GN would be nice - but not sure its worth a drive to MN to get.

I would think you have to decide if you want a car trailer, or a larger HD trailer that will double duty as a car trailer. There are pro's and con's associated with each.

I like the GN trailer also. I have the opportunity to haul loads maybe once a month locally for my own company. I've also noticed that local muscle car owners are always looking for cars to get hauled to Carlisle. That'd be a nice 3 hour trip one way. The biggest disadvantage to a big trailer like that is storing it. I've got no place to it put right now.

How hard is to pull a GN trailer with a lifted truck like mine? Can the trailer be modified easily to match the bed height of the P/U?

If you feel like taking a roadtrip you could save some $$$ and get a NEW gooseneck for under 3 grand . Check them out , I think they ship and have heard good things about them . Only drawback they are in Oklahoma . www.terrystrailers.com

Check with this place. They have 500-600 trailers on hand at all times. I hear there prices are decent. If they dont have what you want they can definatly get it or have it made. They are only abought 20 minutes from here.
