One day I want to add a stainless exhaust with high flow cats and just a little bit more rumble but not very much. Ryan W

I have to make a correction to what I said. I had my travel trailer in mind with the load range D tires. I do run E's on my car hauler 205/75x15 radials with 2,800 lb capacity and 80 mph rating. I have never run that fast with my 5.3. I would need a 100 gallon auxiliary tank in the bed to keep that up for long.
The 5,400 lb axles puts him back in the 10.k gvw category, which then requires a heavier frame, etc. I do have a question...is the 20' plus the 3' wedge ? Also, an escape door would be a very worthwhile upgrade if ordering.

I appreciate the feedback!!! I think the best case scenario is to find a 2-4 year old 9900 lb GVWR trailer. (This would likely be a 24’ as they are much more common. 20’ is the cube, the V is in addition Escape door is great but I am stretching to buy a trailer and need to keep this as low cost as possible.

Ryan, I know your on a budget, but I would get everything you want on the trailer. that way you only buy the trailer one time instead of twice.
if I would have got the wide body and escape door the first time. I wouldn't have bought the second trailer.

I have looked at a few more trailers.
I am torn between a 10 year old 24 X 8.5 X 7 9900 with new E rated tires, made out of plywood and a 2 year old 20 X 8.5 X 6.5 made out of OSB. Older is less expensive but a little big for what I need. Thinking currently. Ryan W31

So I am now all set up for towing my Cutlass!!!
I bought the 2014, 9900 lb GVWR, 24X8.5X7 Diamond Cargo enclosed car hauler trailer. I have had it certified (didn’t need to, just wanted it serviced and ready to go) plated, insured, and I just need to pick up tie downs to use it. I towed it three hours to get it home and the truck and trailer feels very stable. (Although the trailer was empty and I stayed off 400 series highways (like Interstates) I want to work my way up to top speed, fully loaded. I am very excited and can’t wait for my first event!!! To celebrate owning a tow vehicle I am signing up to attend the 2024 SCR Super Car Reunion and hope to see lots of Yenko.net people there!!! Several people really supported me through this process and I hate to name names and miss people but Des, Van, Bruno, Dave, really had my best interests at heart!!! (And thanks to all that helped) Ryan W31
