I have a Trailex open trailer and my buddy has a Sundowner open trailer. Hauling two GT3's. We want to look into buying an enclosed trailer that will haul both cars, and give us some room for tools, tires. I have seen the stackers, which look awesome, but I am concerned about height and wind. Also looking at standard 36 to 40 feet normal trailers. Any pro's con's, recommendations? I'll be towing with a 2017 Ford F250. Thanks!

Thx ExMB - I checked there first. But, as you probably noticed, thats no mans land over there. The real activity and the most insight is here. But, if the mods want it moved, I understand.

if you hvae 36' clear floor, it's really too long for bumper pull, do ur. self a favor and do goose neck
for 2 cars with tools, you need 40' clear floor min. otherwise it's very tight.

I have a 30' Pace with 29' of clear floor, it would fit two Miatas but not enough room for our BMW endurance car and a Spec Miata. For two GT3s you'll need 36' of floor for just the cars. My 30' Pace is a bumper pull with a 5' RV tongue. Even at this size I wish it was a gooseneck and I pull with a 2015 RAM 3500 Dually.Ryan

right on, and it's tight.
i fit two spec boxsters in one of my trailer with 30' floor, two cars where separated with one foam pad... i was really desperate.
stacker if pulled with regular trucks have longs of wind resistance.
and indeed dually is better but 2500 diesel can handle two car trailer no prob just dont load it up with your entire shop

Ha, I dont need much room, but I def dont want to separate the two cars with a foam pad! Im not willing to step up to a dually, so I gotta find something that will work with my 2500

If you decide to go with a GN trailer, just remember that you lose approx. 8' of floor when you are looking at sizes, so a 40'GN would have 32' of flat usable floor space for the cars. Like others have said, definitely go with a GN trailer,, with 2 cars, the weight of the trailer and tools it will pull so much better since your truck is a 3/4 ton. Just make sure your pin weight(similar to tongue weight on a bumper pull) on the GN ball doesn't go over your payload capacity of your truck, and you might want to invest in some bags for the rear of the truck to keep things leveled out.

Thx RobbieRob, all good thoughts. I am reading where most goosenecks have 96 inches (which matches your 8 foot loss number) of upper "neck" space. Judging by what Mooty and Ryan have said above, I think that means I have to find a 44 or 45 foot Gooseneck to have enough room for two cars. Those seem rare.....

But thanks for all the advice, BIG help.

If you guy gooseneck - I would really consider Intech. I have had 3 of them so far and love them.

You'll need a 42-44' length to pull off the length to do two cars tandem. The stacker height is tough; you'd need 11' height minimum to clear the cars. Unfortunately Intech's stacker lift isn't great.

I'd suggest a tandem pull setup. Keep Ceiling height around 8' and then utilize the bunk for wheel/tool storage. As such you really need a 42' minimum but honestly 44'.

Here's a shot of my 40' Intech:













And this is my 24' bumper pull Intech. I can pull it behind my Range Rover Sport diesel easily:

Wow! Both great set ups Chris. Thx for the advice. Your gooseneck and impressive on the interior. What do you use the cabinets for on the passenger side? Does your car fit easily along that side with the cabinets?
