Tilt bed or ramps
 
I put my trailer up on ebay monday, looks like it might be sold.

Now im looking at a smaller trailer. Im intrigued by the gravity tilt bed trailers. Are they worth a shit? Do they work well?

For those of you that have used different trailers and have loaded cars on them many times. What do you put high priority on?

cars with lowered stance may have an issue with the nose hitting but other than that i like them for the easy of loading. just do what you think will work best for what you need. but dont get a long car hauler

Mine is a tilt bed and I love it. I have had for about 10 years, I hate messing with ramps. Mine is power hydraulic open and close. Bob is right on the mustang you have to go slow cause the very bottom chin spoiler rubs going up and down. Gerald has used it also several times also

Is your trailer lowered? I think i want to go with the tilt bed.

What do you guys think? Open center or full deck, I think i want to go with metal either way.

Open center would be nice for when your junk breaks or has a leak.

Full deck with ramps here. 20 foot steel. Get a winch and tool box for straps. Integrated tie downs are a must have

whos got a lowered car that wants to follow me to chester tomorrow?

Matts94Z28 07-24-2011 12:53 AM

I might be down. What time?

MonteC 07-24-2011 07:49 PM

Bought one up in Chester today. Tilt bed, lowered, electric winch, electric/hydraulic tilt, mag wheels, removable fenders, 18ft full metal deck.

Ive been to your house. Youve got more toys than I do. :finger:

But I got a pretty good deal on this one.

ElecTech 07-25-2011 07:55 AM

Looks like a good snag. Probably forget it's back there behind that big Furd.

Darryl Buckner 07-25-2011 12:15 PM

Looks identical to mine except your paint looks better, and my battery is under the bed.:bigthumb:
