I bought my open trailer new and within 6 months it looked used, because it was. They put minimal bearing grease and minimal undercoating and it all needs redone shortly after you buy it. If I had to do it again I would buy a used one and save about a grand. If you get the right deal it might even come with a winch. I now have an enclosed that I bought used.

if your monte can fit on a 13' trailer then my camaro should fit nicely on a 15 ' trailer

I think you're going to need a 16 to 18' bed otherwise the car will be hanging off. mine has an 18' bed and i've got 1 1/2 ft. front and back with the Malibu.

Better too much trailer than not enough. The price difference between 14 and 18 feet is small compared to the inconvenience or smaller load capacity hassles.

FullTimeRacing 12-13-2009 01:55 PM

Oh yea it dose hang off.

been using it for 15+ years.paid $500 :D

got about a foot behind the rear tire.

I agree with this. Having built many traialers over the years. I would opt for the longest one you can get. Plus they tow better. ANd braakes on allw heels.

16 FT WOULD WORK FINE, BUT A 18FT IS A HARD ONE TO BEAT, i USED TO HAVE A 18FT AND LOVED IT , PUT A LONG BED CHEV TRUCK ON IT ALL THE TIME, FIT PERFECT, now I have a small 33 ft open
