I don't own a car hauler, so I have to borrow... but my F150 does have
a Prodigy in it, and a 9200 pound rating, so I can borrow _almost_
anything. This will not deter the determined borrower ;)
Eric warned about the dangers of open trailers, wrt to the track of the
Sprite. Not sure about everyone else, but I meant open trailer versus
enclosed ( box ). Although, that said, I have another warning from
personal experience. If your cargo has small tires, like the 175/65-14s
on our racecar, be very careful about using ladder-type ramps! We have to
the run the wheels of the car up the rails of the ramps, or it will fall
in. We got it stuck half-way up the ramps last year, and let me tell you,
that was not fun.
