Howdy,

So I'm looking for suggestions, ideas, warnings, brand recommendations..etc... educate me on car haulers

What I've found everytime I've looked for a regular open car trailer is that they hold their value well enough that you might as well buy a new inexpensive trailer vs. a used one.

Around me, EconoTrailer is a goto brand. http://www.econotrailer.com/ I've had one of their trailers and friends have had various versions. They're a good basic car trailer. All steel, nothing particularly fancy, etc.

Nice thing is that you get them new, so there's not the rework that always seems to be needed on a used trailer buy. I'm at the point now where if the money is anything like close, I'd rather be spending my time on projects I want to do, vs. working on the tow vehicle or trailer or whatever.

Anyway, just putting it out there. Looks like they're getting $2750 for a full deck 18' trailer these days. If you can do an open deck trailer its $2350. Shorter 15' trailers are a little less.

Mark
