Car Hauler make/brand/

[Tom Vogel]

Looking to buy a ... say, 24ft enclosed car hauler. Any advice on brands or features would be appreciated.
TIA Tom

[Bill Howell]

I have a haulmark, 26 ft
can haul any car I want to, plus a golfcart or fourwheeler or motorcycle up front if needed.
Buy the extra two feet IMO
My trailer has two 5000# axles so great brakes and GVW. It has been pulled all over the country and zero issues.
Side exit door on driver's side is great option.

one thing about car trailers, Once your breaking the wind the length doesn't make a big difference. Buy the biggest axles you can with brakes on all axles. I tow a 32' haulmark with (3) 7500lbs axles = biggest bearings, biggest brakes. I pull this with a 3500 Chevy Duramax dually and get about thirteen mpg driving 65. The advice on the drivers side door is great. I also highly recommend extra lights mount high on the back ( For loading and backing at night) I also have curb side high mount lights for a lighted work area if needed.

Haulmark Edge, 28' tag. Wonderful trailer that has some cool extras. Recommend the manufacturer highly.

I buy inexpensive 24's (now cost just over $5,000.00), don't add anything that can't be easily removed,and sell them after a year or two for more than I bought them for. Had good luck with Team Spirits. Stay away from Larks.

How do you guys feel about Haulmark Thrift trailers? Theres a 2005 24' 10k gvwr for 7k up in Sac. Its got a/c and a winch.

Tom, where are you located?

[Charley Lillard]

I have a 20' V nose Featherlite with winch etc that I will sell for 11K. Nice trailer.

Wait a minute....this is Pro-Touring. You people shouldn't be trailering your cars anywhere! Shame on all of you.

Just bought a 24' V front Wells Cargo Race Series seems nice/looks bling... never loaded it yet?

Not a bad price and the Haulmark brand is good. Charley's trailer also is a steal for an aluminum trailer.

I'm sorry, that Orca is just too goofy looking. It is probably great for pulling behind a passenger car though.

Ouch...
Hard to drive it till its completed, though.

Hey, is that my wife? You never drive them..blah, blah... they stay covered in the garage, blah, blah... Why spend all that money on something you wont even let get wet?.. blah blah...
....Crap, I hope she doesnt lurk on this board.....

[MrQuick]

LOL, me too.

I have an open trailer but some of my cars will not fit on it anymore. Too low.

Hey True? Its always about the look for you isn' it... heeeheee

Tom where are you?

[Damn True]

By "looks awfully nice" I meant in the functional sense. I don't give a rip what the trailer looks like as long as it works.

What the hell am I talking about this for anyway? I don't even have a truck?

[trapin]

I would buy that ORCA if I was in the market. But I'd want it painted black. I think what adds to it's goofy look is that fact that it's bare stainless steel.

Paint it black with some graphics on the sides and I'd own one.

[Charley Lillard]

I would hit my head too many times with the Orca

[dropit69]

any opinions on the cargomate ones my buddy has one i can get really resonable that only went like 100 miles total to track and back a few times..like new..need to know if they are decent its a 24 footer..

[hotrdblder]

darrin all the lower end stuff is decent, haulmark/cargo mate etc, just make sure its got atleast 3500 lb axles and electric brakes and go fo rit

I would imagine it's a lot easier to beat the livin' crap out of your car at the track if you have a way to get it home when it breaks.

Bingo... not that I'm thinking I'll break down I still drive to the local track and just know I have a back up if needed. I bought mine mainly for long distance events to come visit you boys down south....
Also many other uses besides Fuel, sleds, work etc.

[MrQuick]

oh i've done the 8 hour ride in a muscle car with no ac, no radio, 4:11's 2 tires,floor jack in the trunk, tool box and 2 gas cans in the back seat before....not fun. trailers are fun especially if you have several friends.

fyi....i missed that trailer by 2 hours....sux
