Default Looking for 2 car trailer

John, you can move this if it's not appropriate for this section.

I'm looking to rent or buy If I have to a 2 car trailer for our trip this summer. It seems like 44ft is the best option as far as space and not overworking the F- 250 that will be pulling it. Hopefully, you guys can help me out

Mike, I know of a very good one in Austin that may be rentable from some PCA racers, not sure if that is convenient for you. They tow it with a diesel Excursion, and it tows fine.

Text me if you want the contact info..

Mine is a 40' gooseneck. To get two cars in it, I had to remove existing cabinets up front (these were about 2' deep). I would recommend a 44' gooseneck for 2 cars.

Yeah, I think we need a 36' bumper pull or a 44' gooseneck/5th wheel. Prefer the latter due mainly to handling characteristics.

goose neck and 44 is the only way to go for 2 car, or else you will pull at a snails pace if raining or windy.

try racing junk or ebay

Yea I agree, and I've been on both. Racing junk just listed a nice 40ft but that's too small

I don't really agree with this. A modern HD diesel truck will pull a smaller (20-24') stacker with no problems. It's not as easy to find smaller stackers but they are out there. We've got a 20 foot stacker and have towed it all over with a Duramax Silverado. The capability of the new diesel trucks is pretty amazing.

For that length u need gooseneck

Not sure I would tote that much weight without dual rear wheels

I think Lewis truck is f250

Maybe a two car open is safer
