Default New car hauler

Well I picked up the trailer yesterday... it's a big bitch.

20 ft'
All steel diamond plate
stow away ramps
removable drive side fender
dual 3500lb axles
electric brakes
all wired

for a damn good price... just a long ass drive.

Now all I have to do is find some D-Rings and a welder to rent.. and I'm in business!

$1600... though they stated that they will run around $2,000 for awhile since the price of diamond plate just went up significantly.

Their car haulers are built on the premises.. my father went with me and inspected the welds and said they all looked good. It's not a pretty trailer.. but it's built well, is functional, no cheap parts or shortcuts, and should last for quite some time.


I'll post some pictures of it tonight along with a phone number for the guy I dealt with.
