My 28ft enclosed is $92 a year here for tags but we have no property tax. Every trailer in TX has to have a plate. My boat trailer is $45 a year which is about the the cheapest trailer I have.

you are still open to use my enclosed if you need to do something.

but my car should be in it soon

i think an enclosed trailer works well for lowered cars.

the longer door and the rear sectoin being angle down acts like a long ramp.

i have made a LOT of money toting "red" things around on flat trailers.

that wedge trailer is a useless, one purpose trailer.

FWIW, i put radial tires on my enclosed trailer, and it's AWESOME.
10x better than with bias ply cheapo trailer tires.

and, really, i don't think there is many people who would want you to trailer thier junk, unless it broke up there.

i offered to put all AveJoe's stuff in my trailer (he had 4 tires, jack, handful tools)
and he said it was not worth the effort to have to meet up back in town to get the stuff back.

i think having to meet up with them/deliver it to thier house, would quickly become a major annoyance.

many things SEEM good when you first think about them, but fade after an in-depth discussion.

with that said, Goff trailers had new tongue pull trailers for $1700 last year.
and a 10 ton for $2000 or so, special ordered to my specs.

i would get the 10 ton to match your truck,
and if you ever needed to tow a 3/4 ton truck to your shop, a regular car trailer wont work. we bent a boys trailer with my 2004 dodge 4x4, it was 7200lbs with fuel.

northern tool has a ATV winch for $99. Zac has one on his trailer, and I have one somewhere in the junk in mine.

it's enough to pull a rolling car on a trailer, but not a broke car (no wheels or bent up)
it actually bent the lower radiator support on the mustang when we tried to load it (for tranny work)

HTH?

I have helped a friend who hauls cars for a living with a wedge.. DO NOT GET ONE! They SUCK to strap cars onto, dont pull well (IMO) and like mentenioned above.. are purpose built. He has a really nice 6k trailer...that he cant use for anything else..

Haha I think Joe broke his driveshaft just to be the first one to get a tow on it.
