Default Track trailer picture thread!

Hi guys,

I want to buy a closed trailer for my gt3rs and 944 so I can tow them to the track.

What is a good trailer for under 20k??

Pls post yours with name of the trailers manufacturer and size of trailer.

Depending on where you live I would recommend the trailex ct-84180. The fender width was designed with the gt3rs in mind.

Very light and great resale value.

Only caveat there isn't a ton of storage. You can add stuff from pit pal or pit products but it's not comparable to heavier enclosed trailers.

I tow with a qx80 without any issues.

The reflection you see with the picture was a 2009 MDX that I traded in. When I picked up the trailex I towed with empty back to my house. Even empty (approx 1,500lbs), given the height of the trailer, the cross winds would make the trailer sway and the MDX just wasn't up to the task. A few white knuckle moments. Open trailer is fine with the MDX though.

hmm so you're limited to a bumper tow. are you set on an enclosed trailer? i used to tow a 20 and 24 enclosed with a suv, never again! with electric brakes, stopping was fine, but any cross wind would be terrifying

truck is your friend.

if you want to see a track trailer, other than pro trailers, chk out the link on 24 chromium's signature. that's the best i have seen. and i rarely think someone else's trailer is better than mine!!!

but if tow with SUV the trailex as posted above it the best. super light, low and stable in wind.

It may be beyond your budget, however the Aerovault is the Ferrari of light, low profile, fuel efficient trailers. It's just not my cup of tea.
