I love the red! You can also really tell that Featherlite built their brand and expertise in the horse trailer market - I can't put my finger on why (maybe the windows?) but the trailer reminds me of a horse trailer a lot. Not a bad thing - just an interesting identity. Enjoy in good health.

Cheers,
Mark

Totally agree. My wife and I thought the same thing.
Kinda looks like a horse trailer! Haha.
I'm ok with that, may help prevent someone wanting to break into it.

Nice trailer and GT3! I've got the same Blue OX WD setup and it is simple and easy to use. Really makes by 28' Intech trailer pull like that's nothing behind my F-250.

One question though.... do you have to crawl out of the window of your GT3 once its loaded? Or did I miss that you've got a winch or something? Just curious...

What do you plan to use all that extra space behind your car for?

That's the bad part....have to crawl out the window!
The escape door makes it a little easier when crawling out the window...LOL.

Luckily, it's easy for me since I'm young enough.....but I do plan to get a winch!

I don't plan to store anything behind the car when loaded.

I can park further back in the trailer when I increase my weight/load in the front of the trailer....
depending on what track I'm going to and how much crap I decide to bring with!
