I have owned many trailers over the years and I would suggest at least a 10k trAiler instead of the standard 7k. Not only for the extra capacity but for the build quality of the axles. A trailer parts supply house once told me that manufacturers build 3500 lb axle cheap for people who might use their trailer but customers that step up to 5200 or larger axles are planning on loading their trailers heavy so they build in extra safety factor. Probably just a story but I used to eat wheel bearings in my 7k trailer but I have had my 10k tilt for 4 years and done nothing but grease the zerk fitting and check tire pressure. Also I would never own a ramped trailer again after having my tilt deck. Mine is a little work being a manual pump til it but it has done many things a ramp trailer could never have done as easily.
Goose neck or fifth wheel is what I'd use. I haven't towed a car trailer but I have towed a lot with farming and those always did the best I thought. Also you'd want to make the fifth wheel removable in order to actually keep the bed usable.
I just use a 16' utility trailer.....<-------
I saw in another place you tow with a tacoma? Is that correct?
Also I've never seen a toy hauler that could support the weight of a truck. Unless it's the tiny camper or pop up on the front and open on the back
I would love some information or experiences with enclosed trailers.I like the idea of a secure place to keep the truck and a mini garage.Limitations?Bad idea?If I'm going to get a trailer why not ?
That's my theory. I have a 25 deck over thst does 2 swb toyotas a 32 deck over that does 2 lwb toyotas. A 40 flat deck that will do 3 toyotas if loaded correctly. Just seems like alot of people claim to help with fuel but never do.
How much room do you have for storage?
I have found when looking for new, local small company's put in more of a quality effort. Also 10k would be the best bet. 7k will work but after 15 years my deck is starting to bow and the 5 lug wheels flex hard when backing up around tight corners. You could probably get away with a 14. This is my 14', the long bodied 4runner and long wheel base wheeler fit on it nice.
