Chris:

Do they show the price or do I have to call them. I went to the Pace site and really did not see anything. Call Pace or a dealer? Thanks.

Call a dealer. My company is a dealer and we draw from the Indiana plant. I'm not sure if the other plants are offering promos but Indiana is. We ordered a couple of units for stock.

Go to www.paceamerican.com and click on the dealer locator to find your local dealer.

If they don't know what you're talking about shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll send you some info.

I got a 24 footer. Works perfect for my 944. The car goes right the back edge of the side door. That leaves me all the space in front for gear & little bench. Plus I have about 2 feet behind the car for light cargo. The good thing is that with this space I can center the car to create the balance I want. The 24ft size is really nice since the front bench area is fully accessable with the the car loaded in. I have enough room to carry the car and create a nice work area at the track. The trailer is bigger than it needs to be to just carry the car, but the space allows me to not be crammed in at all. This means faster pack up and unpacking at the track. I probably could carry the same stuff in 20footer, but would not have access I do like this. When I got this trailer I was not worrying about carrying gear, but wanted to access it fast and not spend too muich time pack and unpacking. I hate that.

I have a couple cots I put in the back of the trailer over the axles. These simple folding frame units. I pulled these out and the wife and daughter and I camped at the track this past march. Worked out really well. I could not have been happier with this unit. Plus I got it for very nice price.





I will have to dig up photo showing where the car sits relative to the door.

I ended up getting a 7k trailer. So with the car and gear I am very close to 7k. My 2500 dodge has no issues towing the trailer.

All are correct except the last one. The frame on most trailers is the same for 7k or 10k rated. You are correct on the axles. They are the souce of the rating. Of course axles are sold as an assembly to 5k axles compared to 3.5k axles are different and include the springs, bearings, brakes and 6 lug wheels with larger tires too.

I, and others, have found that the 7k trailer (with the same load) is an easier pull. Narrower tires provide less rolling resistance as well.

Brain fart. I was thinking frame is bigger when you go from a 24' to a 26' & larger. 8" I-Beam vs. 6" on a Pace.

It is true though that often times the trailer with 5000# axles comes with a triple tube tongue vs. a double tube on a trailer with 3500# axles.
