Have a Trailex 8045 and love it. Enclosed maybe someday. Traded my ML350 for an F150 Platinum with Ecoboost. Love it. They are as plush inside as my ML, have EVERY creature comfort and electronic, have a long wheelbase for towing, a standard capacity of 9,800, and 11,300 if you get the next size up rear end (3.71 I believe), and you can get one brand new for 46K or so if you can work a good deal.

Or a few k more for duramax Denali
Any gas engine has no low end torque
My 22' ATC w/car and stuff is 8k ish lbs....sway control installed
First moved it from Tampa to Orlando with my x5 35d. The truck is not rated for this. Plenty of torque, moved it fine. The trailer owned the truck though. Too short of wheelbase. Semis would sway the load.
Next I towed from Orlando to savannah ga and back using lollipop 2010 f150 with the big v8. Suspension on f150 is too soft. The gas v8 lacks torque
In my opinion no matter what you tow you must tow with a diesel. From there find a truck that has the proper suspension, brakes, cooling and wheelbase for a stable cruise at 90 mph

Ford looks more like a truck
I like the pimp chrome on Denali.....I tinted all the windows so people think a rapper is driving it
Now I must shop for bazooka tubes

Paver,
If you were looking at a Trailex in Orlando, I might have been the one who got it. well, my brother actually bought it for his Exige, but he lives in the NE and with the winter coming ask me to pick it up and store it for the winter. I also just used it once to try it out
. My brother might actually be interested in selling it again if he can't figure out a way to store the trailer at his house without his associaton complaining (not enough garage and driveway space).
Let me know if your still interested in an open trailex, because from the sound of things, you may end up with an enclosed.....

Fail if true
Duramax 765 ft lb @ 1600 rpm
U use low end torque for towing
