Default Trailer size

Hello, I'm about to purchase an enclosed 18' x7' trailer for my 1988
Turbo cab. Will this be a sufficient size for my car?

Thank you for your help.

I think that's too narrow for even an SC let alone a Turbo.

This size should be a guideline.

The maximum (legal) outside width on a trailer is 102". So subtract ~1" for wall thickness and braces, etc. My advice to you, buy as wide a trailer as you can, unless if you want to buy another one later.

Sufficient, maybe. Will you be looking for a larger trailer 2 months from now? Most likely.

We all go through the same process, buy big.
