Enclosed - many options

Gooseneck. If you have a worthy tow vehicle. Pulls so much better than bumper. Always get enclosed if you can afford. Keeps everything safe and locked up.

Enclosed seems to be the way to go. But there are a lot of brands. Featherlite are really beautifully built, but costly! Interstate seems OK, and are half the price of the Feather. The track is 3.5 hrs away, so driving the GT3 is not fun! Suggestions???

A gooseneck tows better and the 250 can yank it down the road easily. But, they cost more. I used to own a Lark 24 ft bumper pull that was nice, but traded for the 40 ft. gooseneck. Holds more junk, and even 2 911's. I would not be picky and look around. There are tons of them out there and guys need OUT of them for a song.

If you go enclosed, I recommend a V nose.

I have a 26ft V nose enclosed and pull it with an F350. I'm not affiliated with these guys but they carry high quality stuff and they are closer to you then my Georgia connection.

interstate is not comparable to featherlight.
get the best trailer you can afford.


your 150k car is in it. so you decide how much you want to spend on it!

i pm'd you with some Q's/.
here's more Q's.

i also tow a 24' bumper pull want to try a gooseneck.
if i use gooseneck, will i still have use for the bed when not towing?
going from 24' to 40', was it hard to figure out how to drive such long rig?
by 40' you mean you have 40-8 (overhanging part) = 32 clear floor space, with no cabinet in front so you can move two cars?
