Default Where to look for a trailer in Mtl (rent or buy)?

Heading to US March 2nd to get my 951 track car up here, so considering buying and renting options for a trailer. I looked on kijiji and seemd like pretty slim pickins.

I will be pulling with a 2015 Grand Cherokee (6200lb tow cap), so open/closed up to 3000lbs should work.

Any advice on where to look greatly appctd.

Thanks, TK

Saw that one, but not sure i could pull it with a 3.6l GC... Will look into it, thx for sharing.

Does anyone have experience with Miska trailers?

Granted, its not local but curious if anyone has any experience with these guys or the trailer in the link.

How far south are you going to pick up the car? Trailers are WAY cheaper down south although the exchange is nasty right now. Even then, I know of people buying direct from manufacturers or distributors hauling them back and flipping them here for more than they bought them for. Might be worth reaching out to some of the guys stateside.

Thought I saw a thread from Jerome, from your neck of the woods, looking to sell his enclosed trailer. GL

Thanks for all the responses, appreciate the input!

JTT - funny you mention the US, i just figured with the exchange the way it is, id be better off buying in Canada... However, and to your point, it seems like trailers are sometimes up to 15-20% cheaper in the US.

I am getting my car in Columbus, OH and found a dealer that is local and has several options in stock and ready to go, so thats the route ill end up going.

Thanks again, TK
