take that 17000 ATC
if your raptor cannot tow it, trade it to something more manly
this will be the cheapest way to do it.
b/c if you dont, you will buy whatever now and come back, selling your raptor and buy a real trailer like ATC, trust me.

^^^ This. Been there, done that. This is a bargain. And I tow my 24' ATC with an F150 Ecoboost and it does the job. And Nissan ( no flaming) has a new 1/2 ton diesel just revealed at the Detroit Auto show that sounds more than capable.

BTW: Got one of your shirts for Christmas and it's very nice.

Thanks guys. Can't do the 28 footer...checked my parking area last night and it's too long. I'm in a neighborhood and the covenant police would be up my butt with a microscope.

Anyway, I'm following up on other leads you guys posted. The deal on the ATC 28 is awesome. I'm posting pics in case someone wants to jump on it. This trailer looks brand new and is barely used. Love to see a fellow RLer pick it up.

Moot! Is that your new stable? Holy crap man.

Beautiful trailer. I am shopping now, but this is out of my budget. Great trailing. I have an ATC open and couldn't be happier.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad new, but you really need more truck.

Not a problem. I doubt it will last long once the right eyes hit it.

Default Montrose Trailer

These guys may be a bit far up north for you, but you won't get better bang for your buck than this group.

They're a very small company and build only a few trailers per month.

They can customize your build w/ absolutely no problem. Did I say you won't get better bang for your buck?

Thanks! I love their concept. But looks like adding cabinets and creature comforts would be tough. One of the reasons I want an enclosed is to avoid loading and unloading over and over. Would like to keep the tools and other stuff on board.

Jamie at Freeman might be able to help. He's been helpful to club racers and it would be worth a few minutes to reach out to him. I only have their public facebook info handy: https://www.facebook.com/FTRServices

I take it that you need to be an acrobat to get in and out of the car while it is in the trailer

Rob, PM sent.

I have a 24' Featherlite that I might be interested in selling. Winch, ramp extensions, aluminum wheels, recent tires.
