Trailer recommendations
Looking for an enclosed trailer big enough for a 911 or Spec Maita to pull with my incoming Cayenne S. Any one have a Trailex or any other good aluminum (read light weight) enclosed trailer they're happy with??

My Dad had an enclosed trailer for his 2001 TT and just switched to an open one. I've had an open one (Cargo Pro) for a 2002 C2 and love it. I do, however, pull it with a Silverado 2WD and not a short wheel based vehicle..
My Cargo Pro has a solid floor. The Trailex has, for the most part, an open floor. The wheels start off at 13", I believe. You have the option of getting larger wheels but some of the others start of with a bigger wheel.
I have had no road damage/contamination issues with the open trailer, plus the aerodynamics are better then an enclosed trailer. They do however decrease with a tire rack in the slipstream.
The enclosed trailers have many advantages, but normally light weight is not one of them.

Sounds like a great trailer though.
