Come on guys! Next thing you're gonna tell me is F1 drivers crash their cars on purpose to help their teammates!

I think the OP's issue is the car door hitting the inner wheel arch fender. In that case, a swing door won't work.

I had a good friend with an ATC with the same issue. Cup door would not clear even though he custom spec'd the trailer (ATC got it wrong). ATC took it back and rebuilt, as in RAISED, the entire trailer floor. PRESTO!

So, the real answer here is... winch.

Still, that is a pretty cool product; probably not useful to most of us, but for really special (ie., customized or collector), I can see people buying it.
Not me, though.

Standard pricing for a single car system is $7495 which includes rails, trolleys, gate extension components, ramps, ramp storage brackets and tiedown package (straps, lashing winches and hardware).

Yowzah.....That's some high quality alumineeeeum.

i drive in and just get out. never thought it would be so complicated. i even do that with cup car clutch. aim straight and go FAST.

Dangit. All I have is the winch. Can I still get my car on with the half brain?

More than a lot of trailers.
Heck, more than a lot of race cars.

Seriously?!?!?!!! Over-engineered, over-designed, over-priced, overly-complicated.

Come on, it would only add a little to the overall cost of your trailer!!
