Re: 16' or 18' car hauler?

I have a 20ft steel deck, with a 4ft dove, pull-out 6ft ramps, 4500lb winch, built-in recessed-in-bed tool/supply box, spare tire front-mounted, stake pockets, 6 d-rings, elec brakes and nice alum diamond plate trim so my Cobra looks pretty sitting up there! It really depends on what you want the trailer for, I haul my race car, and pickup & deliver cars/trucks I buy, I haul hay and my tractor on it, and use it for all types of general purposes. If you are hauling a race car, get a 20-ft with low mounted fenders so you can open your car doors while the car is on the trailer. The things that make it so very nice are the in-bed tool box for all your tie downs, staps, little odds & ends like fuel & air battery for the winch (to pull the car up after you have broke in a 10-sec run down the strip, or to pull up that 2000lb round bale of hay...) the spare tire mount on the front so it doesnt block access to the car... etc, etc. This is my third car-haul trailer, and every time I change out I add on extras to make it that much easier to use, and then use it that much more. I started with a 16 wood deck, then to a 20 steel that was nice, then to a decked out 20. Watch out for things like the ramps that slide out of side, when you are at the races and someone pulls besides you, you cant get the ramps out (or back in) without moving the trailer. You cant have too many d-rings. Having a multi purpose trailer you will have lots and lots of friends who always seem to be in-need...
