Default CTS trailers? Any info?

Anybody heard of or had experience with this trailer? I realize it is not at the high end of trailer manufacturers...just considering all options before buying anything. Maybe a transitional trailer before buying a "keeper?"

no, have not heard of them. I would stick with mainstream products, featherlite, ATC, gold rush, and pace.

Good luck

Just starting to freak out a little at the idea of spending damn near as much on my trailer as my tow vehicle. Cheaping out like this gets me the big GN i really want instead of the not as big and not as fun to pull tag. Then in a couple years when i am world famous millionaire, I get the trailer I really want!

Just considering my options...

^ oh dont worry, you will start with a trailer costing more than your truck, then only to later buy an even more expensive truck, then realizing your car embarrasses your rig, so you go buy a cup car....

it's a disease.....

lmao, you have to learn from those idiots' mistakes. buy bigger.
i say start with a 44', if too small, just get a 4 car stacker. then you are set. who needs spare parts when you have spare cars. and why change tires when you get a flat, just use car #2. why even bother refueling, that's what car #3 is for....


whatever i smoked are GOOD....i need to go back to the smoke room now.

maybe i should have just bought something from the mooty discount wholesale trailer superstore while i had the chance.....

thinking of cheapo 34-40 GN that i can get into NOW stress free, upgrade later. OR just throw in the towel and order up same size GN from TPD. My worry is that whatever I order now will not be perfect - this or that will be wrong, my SECOND trailer can be the perfect one. Thus, cheapo one now for trial run.

TPD are the best, this one's with a little TLC is a steal.

Out west, Gold Rush. Why bother with something else? For one car, get a 28' enclosed if you have the parking space, done deal.

28 enclosed tag was the plan until i became possessed by the idea of gooseneck.

Gold rush is wildly expensive, no? More than tpd, atc?

Gold Rush is spendy. But if you spec it right, you only spend it once. My little ATC is nice, but no where near the level of Gold Rush or InTech. If I weren't such a cheapskate I would trade in my 14' ATC for a multipurpose InTech- double the length to 28' and get a real tow vehicle like Izzone, but I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to track days- keeps my car in one piece because I have to drive it home.
