Hey guys well I'm moving down to arizona in the next few months and will be towing the dsm from the greater toronto area in canada. I was looking at uhaul trailers but for a similar price i can buy one and re use it while I'm down here for track runs.
What are good brand and decent price point to look at?
What specs as far as width and length should i be looking for?
Electric breaks a necessity?
The trailer will primarily haul my dsm and maybe an evo some day. Nothing bigger. But for this particular trip a lot of tools will FILL the dsm all the way.
Looking at primarily open trailers unless an enclosed one can be had for the same price (which i doubt) budget is 4k max
I'd like a 5* load angle so i can easily load uo the dsm without using 2x4 or plywood. I dont have enough time to build a trailer nor do i have experience to do so, but any other winches or racks or what ever (to hold slicks maybe?) i can weld on at a later time, im looking for the shortest i can get away with but also dont want the car to be about falling off the trailer so i was considering a 18ft. What do you guys use? Help me out this is a long 32 hour drive!
I'll also add that the tow vehicle is a 02 ram1500 SLT long bed with airbags in the rear. 50,000 origional miles.
